On December 7, 2024, at about 3:15 a.m. Akron police found 36-year-old Mashoure Pig Tank Snyder in the 500 block of Carpenter Street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say an altercation began inside an apartment involving Snyder and two other people, moved outside, and during a physical struggle one man drew a handgun and shot Snyder several times.

A 49-year-old man who was at the scene was detained for questioning and later released without charges. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing. Snyder is survived by his mother, Beatrice Wade; his grandmother, Mattie B. Johnson; his children Nyalle Taylor, Nylah Snyder, and Carter Norwood; and an extended family of siblings, nieces, nephews and cousins. A visitation and celebration of life was held December 19, 2024, at Rhoden Memorial, with burial at Mt. Peace Cemetery, and the family has a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses.
