The community of Akron was shocked when a house erupted in flames in May 2017. A neighbor saw the raging fire and called 911 immediately, shrieking to police that the fire was getting worse. First responders rushed to the scene but it was too late to save the family inside.
Five children and two adults perished in the fire. The fire was ruled arson after detectives uncovered security footage from neighbors showing a suspect starting the fire that killed seven people.
