Cleveland Man Convicted in Fatal Akron Shooting

A Summit County jury found 34-year-old Timothy Whitthorne guilty of murder and related charges in the fatal 2025 shooting of 27-year-old Razeil Robinson near Akron’s Rosemary Square apartments. Prosecutors said surveillance footage and a woman who was with Whitthorne placed him at the scene; she told investigators he shot Robinson after Robinson approached them. Whitthorne and the woman fled to Cleveland, where authorities arrested him and recovered a gun that matched shell casings from the scene. Robinson was shot twice and died at the scene.
