What happened?

A street party in Akron on Saturday night turned deadly, leaving 25 people injured by gunfire, including a 27-year-old man who is dead and two people who are in critical condition.

Police chief Brian Harding said the shooting appeared to be a drive-by at a birthday party at Kelly and 8th avenues that had spilled into the street.

Around 10 p.m., police said they went to a private residence where the birthday party was occurring. About 200 revelers were present, loud and shooting fireworks, and police asked them to disperse from the street because of motor vehicle traffic.

Between 10 p.m. and midnight, people returned to the party, say police, and a little after midnight, police said they started receiving calls about shots fired.

At the scene, police said they found two handguns and multiple types of shell casings, including casings from a rifle.

Police said there were at least 35 shell casings, which matches what a News 5 journalist on the scene saw just after the shooting.

Video captured by News 5 Photographer Mike Vielhaber shows police and 38 evidence markers on the ground.
