AKRON -- Police say an arrest has been made in the shooting death of a McDonald's employee who was murdered earlier this month.
21-year-old Johnnl Lanier Lewis of Akron was taken into custody and charged with murder and aggravated robbery for the April 6 incident in which a 28-year-old man was killed.
According to police, Lewis was identified after they received several combined tips. He was brought in for questioning and subsequently arrested Tuesday night.
"The police cannot solve all crimes on their own," Chief James Nice says. "Crime solving depends on the community's dedicated involvement. In this instance, the public stepped forward to provide valuable information and we are very appreciative. This is a great example of how our community policing efforts are working to bridge the gap between safety forces and the public."
Lewis was taken to the Summit County Jail where he is being held pending his 9 a.m. arraignment Thursday in Akron Municipal Court.
The charges against Lewis stem from the night when John Lehman was shot around 11 p.m. while he was taking out the trash at the McDonald's restaurant located at 390 West Market Street.
Lehman had been shot several times and later died at Akron General Medical Center.
Authorities were offering a reward up to $10,000 for anybody with information leading to the identification or arrest of those responsible.
John Bickle, McDonald's owner/operator of Rubber City McDonald's released this statement after news of the shooting broke:
"Our entire Rubber City McDonald's family is shocked by the tragedy at our West Market Street restaurant. We offer our prayers and sympathies to the family of the victim. The safety and well-being of our employees and customers is our top priority. We are cooperating with the police investigating this incident and defer any questions to them."
