Tina Case, a 50-year-old woman from Akron, Ohio, tragically lost her life on April 7, 2022. She was ambushed and shot multiple times by Antonio Miller, a 27-year-old man, as she pulled into her driveway on Koerber Avenue in Kenmore. Tina was a beloved mother and grandmother, known for her strong and caring nature. Her death sent shockwaves through her community, leaving family and friends devastated.
Authorities initially identified Miller as a person of interest, but it took five months before he was arrested by police and U.S. Marshals at a home on Roslyn Avenue. Security camera footage played a crucial role in linking Miller to the crime. The investigation revealed that Miller and Tina's daughter had been in a five-year on-and-off romantic relationship that ended just before Tina's murder.
In September 2024, a Summit County jury convicted Miller of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, and one count of felonious assault, all with gun specifications. He was sentenced to life in prison, with eligibility for parole after 36 years. Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich stated that Miller deserved to spend the rest of his life behind bars for ambushing and killing Tina.
The case brought significant attention to the issue of domestic violence and the impact it can have on families. Tina's family found some solace in the sentencing, hoping it would bring justice and peace to their lives. The community continues to remember Tina as a strong mother, grandmother, and protector who touched the lives of everyone she met.
