Melvin Harvey Ricardo Stevenson, 36, was found unresponsive in a driveway on Rowland Avenue NE in Canton, Ohio, on March 22, 2023, with gunshot wounds to his head and body. He was taken to Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital and died of his injuries two days later.

Canton police arrested 29-year-old Errol G. Frank III and his wife, 29-year-old Tricia Stevenson-Frank after the shooting. Charges were initially filed as attempted murder (against Errol Frank) and obstructing justice (against Tricia Stevenson-Frank) and were later amended following Stevenson’s death. In July 2023, Errol Frank was tried in Stark County Common Pleas Court; the prosecution said Frank sought out Stevenson, his wife’s ex-husband, and shot him, while the defense argued Frank acted in self-defense, claiming Stevenson had lunged at him. The jury found Frank guilty of murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence, with firearm specifications, and on July 31, 2023 Judge Frank Forchione sentenced him to life with the possibility of parole after 20 years. Stevenson's mother spoke at sentencing, expressing forgiveness, and Frank apologized to the family.

Are there details about Stevenson’s last hours or connections in Canton that could help explain what led to the confrontation?
