Michael Lee McCray, 46, was found shot to death in the basement of his Canton, Ohio home in the 2800 block of Ellis Avenue NE on September 14, 2022. His wife discovered him and called 911, telling dispatch that an intruder had shot her husband and fled the scene. Investigators say McCray was shot in the chest and that the suspect escaped through the back door.

Police arrested 22-year-old Ryan C. Harmer later the same day. Authorities charged Harmer with murder, aggravated burglary, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence. Neighbors described McCray and his family as nice, polite people who kept to themselves; the wife told police she feared Harmer might return because he had been a friend of her husband for a couple of years.

Does anyone who knew Michael or his family have information about Harmer’s relationship with them or about activity around Ellis Avenue NE on September 14, 2022?
