Akron police have adjusted the number of people who were hurt during a mass shooting in East Akron multiple times since the terrifying incident unfolded on June 2.
The number of victims has ranged from 24 to 28 over the past 31 days, but on Wednesday, police confirmed they have now counted 30 people who were shot.
That includes the father who was killed in the hail of gunfire, 27-year-old LaTeris Cook.
No one has been arrested, and no charges have been filed.
Cook’s stepmother, Kalandra McDowell, said it’s beyond time for the people who know the truth to come forward.
“At the end of the day, you have 30 families affected. The number has went up. If you do know anything, it’s helpful,” McDowell said. “This is not about a snitching process or you’re holding the streets down or some street code crap. Families want to know things.”
The shooting happened after midnight during a birthday celebration around Kelly Avenue and 8th Avenue.
