Four people were found dead at approximately 3:00 p.m. on April 17 in the basement of a townhome in Akron, Ohio according to the Associated Press.

An unidentified individual found the bodies at the apartment complex on Akron's northeast side according to Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority executive director Tony O'Leary. He mentioned that police were not able to find any weapons at the scene of the crime.

"The units, in an older, small complex near a mall, are normally quiet and don't have a history of crime," said O' Leary according to the Associated Press. "It's certainly not what some people see as a typical public housing unit."

The four adults, two men and two women, who appeared to be in their 20s had been shot in their heads. Police have yet to reveal any further information regarding the deceased as of press time.

Police have yet to determine a suspect as well according to Police spokesman Lt. Rick Edwards. He was able to confirm however that each person was shot "repeatedly."

"Our officers came out here to investigate that, did not get an answer at the door; they did force entry into the house and they located the four victims in the basement on the floor. I can tell you that multiple shots were fired inside the basement," said Edwards according to Fox News.

Over 50 officers spent the night canvassing the complex for shell cases and talking to neighbors.

The housing complex is 35 miles south of Cleveland and is less than a mile away from the Chapel Hill Mall according to the Associated Press.
