An Akron man has been indicted in the November shooting death of a pregnant woman in Kent.
Michael Deshawn Lollar, 37, is held on a $1 million bond after appearing in Kent Municipal Court.
A Portage County grand jury indicted Lollar on four counts of complicity to aggravated murder and a first-degree felony count of complicity to aggravated burglary.
Lollar is accused of driving a vehicle that police say carried Arizona resident Dawan Rahman Wilson, 44, to and from a home in South Water Street’s 1300 block where 35-year-old Cheretta Frierson was found shot to death Nov. 21.
Kent police say officers responded to the home after a neighbor called 911 and reported hearing screaming and what sounded like several gunshots about 2 p.m. Nov. 21. Frierson was found dead at the bottom of the basement stairs.
Police said Frierson had been living in Arizona prior to staying at the Kent home with a family member. However, a young girl and an infant boy were the only other occupants found at the home. Neither was reported injured, and Portage County Job and Family Services was contacted.
