Sheriff’s deputies probe
slaying of Atwater man
Portage County sheriff’s detectives are investigating the shooting death of an Atwater man that took place in the 2200 block of Alliance Road early Jan. 13.
Kevin M. Bailey, 32, was shot at least once in the upper torso at about 2:30 a.m., according to Portage County Sheriff David Doak.
Investigators believe they know who shot Bailey, and that man is cooperating with the investigation, Detective Lt. Greg Johnson said. Additional information will be released as the investigation progresses, he said.
An autopsy on Bailey’s body was performed at the Summit County medical examiner’s office in Akron on Jan. 14 and no further information was available. Once the investigation is completed, it will be reviewed by the Portage County prosecutor’s office for consideration of criminal charges.
Bailey’s death is being investigated as a homicide, which in legal terms is the killing of one person by another. It has not been ruled a murder, which would imply a criminal act.
