19-year-old Darrin Welch was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 17-year-old East Akron High School senior Antenio Louis.
On Aug. 16, 2023, Louis was riding in a car with a driver on East Glenwood Avenue when a second vehicle, with Welch inside, pulled in front of their car and opened fire.
Welch pleaded guilty to one felony count of murder and one count of felonious assault.
“Antenio Louis was a beloved son, brother, and teammate. His life was cut far too short,” said Summit County Prosecutor Kolkovich.
“I am thankful for the Akron Police Department and our assistant prosecutors who worked to make sure Welch would be held accountable for this senseless act of violence.”
