AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron DJ beat a man to death at an Akron bar after the man complained about the loud music, police said.

Akron police said the music volume was one factor in the argument that broke out about 12:05 a.m. Friday at the Zodiac bar in the 1900 block of Triplett Boulevard.

Regular bar customer Forrest Ryan, 39, of North Canton, was at the bar with friends when an argument broke out between Ryan and Robert Jarvis, the bar's DJ.

Jarvis, 64, punched Ryan three times in the head, according to police reports. The two wrestled on the ground until Ryan lost conscious. Jarvis fled after the fight.

A woman at the bar called 911 and told a dispatcher Ryan was barely breathing.

The woman said she was unsure what happened. A 911 dispatcher gave her instructions on how to perform CPR on Ryan.

The woman told the dispatcher that Ryan periodically would gasp for air. Later in the call, she said it appeared that his breathing had improved.

Investigators arrived and found "copious amounts of blood" coming from Ryan's nose and mouth, according to Summit County Medical Examiner records. He was taken to Akron General Medical Center, where he died of blunt force trauma to his head, according to medical examiner records.

Ryan suffered multiple facial and head fractures during the fight. Ryan was hit in the head, where he already had a large scar from a surgery stemming from injuries that he suffered in a 2013 car crash, medical examiner records say.

Jarvis later returned to the bar and was arrested. He is charged with murder and is in the Summit County Jail.

Several people who identified themselves as friends or family members of Ryan made a make-shift memorial at the bar with balloons and roses. They declined to talk about Ryan.

The homicide is not connected to another homicide that happened at a different Akron bar about 45 minutes earlier across town, according to investigators.

In that case, two men argued about 11 p.m. Thursday at the Hi-De-Ho Lounge on Vernon Odom Boulevard during a private party for a motorcycle club, according to police.

Lentheric Caldwell, 39, and Willie Hicks III, 41, argued inside the bar. They both went outside and fought.

Caldwell walked back into the bar. Hicks, who is on probation for stabbing his son in June, walked into the bar with a shotgun about 10 minutes later. Hicks shot Caldwell once in the left side of his chest, according to court records.

Caldwell was taken to Akron City Hospital, where he died of the gunshot wound. His death was also ruled a homicide.

Hicks is charged with aggravated murder. He was arrested about 4 p.m. by the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force in a Willoughby motel, police said.
