The body of a woman found dumped near a scrapyard in Canton Township on Wednesday has been identified as a suspect believed to be involved in the shooting death of a man in Akron in November 2022.
On Nov. 22, 2022, Akron Police found 38-year-old Joseph Hall in a house in the 1300 block of Brandon Avenue with an apparent gunshot wound to the torso, according to a news release from Akron Police. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Early in the investigation, 33-year-old Suzanne Thomas, a girlfriend of Hall’s, was determined to be involved in Hall’s death, Akron Police said. They had been arguing throughout the evening over a car, police said.
“Warrants were signed that evening for Thomas' arrest, but she was off the radar and was never captured,” police said.
Akron Police said Darrell Lee Antwan was the actual shooter in the incident, and has been at Summit County Jail since he was arrested on Dec. 13, 2022.
The body found near a scrapyard in Canton Township on Wednesday was identified as Thomas, the other suspect in the shooting, according to the release. Her cause of death is unknown at this time and an autopsy is pending. Police said the body was dumped where it was found.
