An Akron bounty hunter was shot while attempting to serve a warrant with other bail bondsmen Thursday night.
The shooting happened around 8:15 p.m. in the 1100 block of 7th Avenue.
When they approached the house, someone fired multiple shots, striking the 37-year-old man, identified by Akron Police as Frank Frazier, known as "Bounty Tank." Police said Frazier was shot in the torso and was transported to the hospital in serious condition.
"Officers arrived to discover that one of the bail bondsmen was in fact struck while trying to serve a warrant to an individual they believe was inside the residence," Captain Michael Miller with Akron Police explained.
According to police, a 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man were located at the house and were arrested on outstanding warrants.
Additionally, police confirmed they recovered shell casings at the house, but reiterated that it's still not clear at this time who fired the shots, and no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting Thursday night.
News 5 reached out to the involved bail bonds company, Sly Bail Bonds, and was told they didn't have any additional information about what happened or Frazier's current status.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 330-375-2490.
