A Hudson man working as a Lyft ride-share driver was shot and killed Sunday at an Akron intersection.
Kristopher Roukey, 48, of Hudson, was shot multiple times near the intersection of East Market Street and Buchtel Avenue by a man walking on the street. The accused shooter was arrested at noon Monday at a home a short distance away.
Callers to 911 describe a man who was shot sitting alone in the driver's side of a vehicle, and a shooter walking away from the scene, according to recordings released by police.
Akron police said it's been determined Roukey was a Lyft driver, but it's unknown how his work was related to the shooting.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting at the intersection at 4:55 p.m Sunday. Police said Roukey was unresponsive and had been shot several times.
He was taken to Summa Akron City Hospital, which is near where the shooting happened. He died in the hospital about 5:30 p.m.
According to a news release from the U.S. Marshal of Northern Ohio's office, Kahlyl Powe, 23, is accused of fatally shooting Roukey.
Powe was quickly identified as a suspect by Akron detectives, according to the news release. Officers and the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive's Task Force were able to find and arrest him in the 500 block of Buchtel Avenue, just blocks away from where the shooting happened.
A firearm also was recovered during Powe's arrest, according to the news release. He is charged with murder, according to the news release.
Yep, no need to look.
These a-hole fake journalist/reporters are so PC and tap dance around stories.

Those callers really provided some great descriptions: "Man" and "shooter."
Was there a pic? Nothing came up on my pc
ahhh....there he is. No wonder they didn’t want to put a pic up.
I suspect that they want to eliminate competition for drivers from ‘the oppressor’ class and thus are sending a message.
As it is, I was in an Uber not long ago. Very nice, and safe, female black driver. Gave her 5 stars, but that was it. Next ride was an Eastern European immigrant, he also got 5 stars, plus her tip (on top of his tip). If they want to play a game of ‘collective punishment’, I’m happy to play it back.
Yeah, I knew the second I read the headline. But of course it’ll be excused because of racist oppression and stuff, right?
So very sick and tired of this.
Leftists, as deranged as they are, always accuse others of doing exactly what they’re doing. Consequently, when LeFraud James says “cops are hunting black people” he actually means “black people are hunting other people including cops”.
Well I'll be darned!! It's not a white supremacist after all!
See comment #11.
If convicted, Powe will receive a free lifetime supply of Coca-Cola, for making the world less white.
This was a family man. I read he worked for the Cleveland Indians in some capacity and that baseball and softball was very important in his life. He lived in Hudson, which is a very expensive community, 15-20 miles from Akron. But not far enough apparently. Disgusting animals.
Yup....Can’t let the face of the Crime mess with the narrative.
When I went to GOOGLE IMAGES and put in the Killers Name NO PHOTO came up.
BUT if you go to GOOGLE IMAGES and put in the Dead Drivers name, you WILL see a Picture of the Murderer.
My friends if any of these perps give any indication of going down this road it has to be dealt with when they’re teenagers. A long time in a faraway work camp would do. 2nd time there’s no hope. What would Pinochet do?
Gas him. Harvest any useful organs.
For six decades of my life I’ve been seeing countless human garbage like this, who are no more value to humanity than the plague is, who constantly assault and kill whites and no charges of racism ever are pressed.
“What would Pinochet do?’’
Shoot them. Seriously. These dirt bags, despite decades of our tax money poured into the Democrat run crap hole these animals come from has done nothing to lessen crime in these areas and murder rates are going up.
Kill off these criminals before they can breed.
