AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron woman is accused of fatally shooting her boyfriend Saturday making it the third homicide in the city in a 26-hour span.

Kerieda Beavers, 21, is charged with murder and felonious assault. She is being held in the Summit County Jail until her court appearance Monday.

The shooting happened about 1 a.m. at the intersection of Weehawkin Place and Dhalgren Drive.

Beavers got into an argument with Tevael Parker, her boyfriend of three years.

She fired three gunshots at Parker, 22. Two missed. One bullet struck Parker under the chin and lodged in his brain behind his right eye, court records say.

Akron medics found Parker face down in the road with a handgun under his body, according to police reports. Six bullets remained in the gun. Three bullets were fired, police reports say.

Parker was taken to Akron City Hospital, where he remained in the intensive care unit for about 15 hours before he died Saturday. Beavers was also taken to Akron City Hospital with unspecified injuries, police reports say.

The first homicide in 2016 happened about 11 p.m. Thursday at a private party for a motorcycle club at the Hi-De-Ho Lounge on Vernon Odom Boulevard.

Willie Hicks III, 41, fatally shot Lentheric Caldwell, 39, inside the bar with a shotgun, police said. Hicks was later arrested in a Willoughby hotel.

The next happened about 12:05 a.m. Friday. Robert Jarvis, 64, the disc jockey at the Zodiac bar on Triplett Boulevard, argued with regular bar customer Forrest Ryan, 39, of North Canton.

Jarvis punched Ryan three times in the head. Ryan died from the injuries suffered in the fight, police said.

Akron had 28 homicides in 2015, the second deadliest year in the past decade. The deadliest in that timeframe was in 2006, where there were 32 homicides.
