The Akron Police Department and Summit County Medical Examiner's Office are investigating after a 32-year-old man who had multiple gunshot wounds was found inside a home in Akron early Friday morning.
According to the medical examiner's office, officers responded to the 700 block of Wren Walk around 2:30 a.m. Friday for a reported shooting.
When officers went inside the home, they found the victim, who had been shot multiple times, authorities said. The man was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The medical examiner's office has identified the man as Douglas Waters of Akron.
According to the Akron Police Department, he was shot during a home invasion.
"Investigators determined that the suspects forced their way inside the front door of the residence and, once inside, confronted and shot the victim multiple times before fleeing the scene," Akron Police Captain and Public Information Officer Michael A. Miller said.
Two suspects are in custody, one of whom was treated at a hospital for "a self-inflicted gunshot wound he sustained during the home invasion," Miller said.
Authorities have identified the suspects as 25-year-old Gerald Wilson and 26-year-old DeVionne Bigby. They are charged with aggravated burglary, murder and felonious assault "in connection with the senseless incident," Miller said.
Both are being held in the Summit County Jail.
