Kyle Reedy, a 26-year-old man from Massillon, Ohio, was tragically shot to death on June 24, 2020, in Canton, Ohio. Reedy was found in the 1000 block of Fifth Street SW, having been shot in the chest. Canton police and the coroner were immediately involved in investigating the incident, and an autopsy was scheduled to determine the exact cause of death.
The investigation led to the arrest of Tobiah Harshaw, a 42-year-old Canton man, who was wanted for Reedy's murder.
Harshaw was arrested in Columbus, Ohio, on October 21, 2020, with the assistance of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force. He was held on a $2 million bond in connection with the shooting.
The case drew significant attention from law enforcement across Ohio and even involved collaboration with authorities from two other states. The arrest of Harshaw marked a significant development in the case, providing some measure of justice for Reedy's family and friends.
The tragic death of Kyle Reedy highlighted the ongoing issue of gun violence in Canton and the broader community's efforts to address and prevent such incidents. The case also underscored the importance of collaboration among law enforcement agencies in solving violent crimes and bringing perpetrators to justice.
