Robert Zornes Jr., 45, of Akron, Ohio, was shot in the abdomen and died at a residence in Green, Ohio, on October 10, 2021. Deputies and the Green Fire Department responded around 7 p.m. to reports of an unresponsive man; Zornes was found at the scene and pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Investigators identified 40-year-old Jeffrey Peasley of Navarre, Ohio, as the primary suspect after interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage. Peasley was sought by the Summit County Sheriff’s Office; he was arrested on October 13, 2021, in Niles, Ohio, after being found riding a stolen motorcycle and crashing during the arrest attempt. He was taken to the Summit County Jail to face charges related to Zornes’ death.

An online fundraiser was started to support Zornes’ family. Does anyone have information about Zornes or the events at the Green residence on October 10, 2021?
