The Hudson Police Department is investigating the shooting death of a 41-year-old CSU professor found during a welfare check Wednesday night.
According to authorities, officers responded to a home in the 300 block of W. Streetsboro Street just before 7 p.m. to conduct a requested welfare check.
Once inside, police found the man. He had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man, who was identified as Todd A. Morgan, was a professor at Cleveland State University in the Monte Ahjua College of Business.
Authorities said they believe the shooting was an "isolated incident" but didn't provide any additional specifics.
CSU released this statement in the wake of Morgan's death:
Some messages are particularly hard to send, and they are hard to receive. This is one of those messages. I am saddened to share that Dr. Todd Alan Morgan, assistant professor in the Department of Management in the Monte Ahuja College of Business, was killed yesterday at his home in Hudson, Ohio. As reported in the media this evening, this is an active crime investigation, and we do not have any additional information at this time.
Todd was known in our CSU community as a kind, dedicated colleague and a skilled educator. He was well liked and respected by students, appreciated for his down-to-earth demeanor, and very well regarded by those who guided him in his own career. A two-time CSU alumnus, Todd returned to join our faculty in 2021. His general research focused on new product development, innovation and strategic orientations of the firm, and how they impact competitive advantage.
I understand that the loss of a member of our community is difficult and will come as a shock, especially to those who knew and worked most closely with Todd.
