Jonathan Colley, 52, of Green, Ohio, died on May 20, 2015, after being shot three times by deputies from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. The shooting occurred in Green, an Akron suburb, during an encounter in which Colley was reported to be wielding a knife and advancing on deputies. Authorities determined the deputies acted in self-defense; there were no arrests, no suspects named, and no subsequent litigation or murder investigation opened in connection with the shooting.

Colley was a long-time Green resident and a member of the Cleveland Bricklayers Union, Local 5. The case prompted local discussion about police use of force and the circumstances that justify deadly force, but no further legal actions were pursued.
