Jeanette Bartee, aged 33, was tragically killed on April 12, 2002, in Akron, Ohio. She was found fatally shot inside her home on Wildwood Avenue in Summit County. The incident occurred in her residence, and there were no signs of forced entry, which has led investigators to consider that Jeanette may have known her attacker. The manner in which she was killed has been described as "execution-style," indicating a targeted and premeditated act of violence.
On the same day as her death, another individual, Roy Addison, was also found shot in a separate but seemingly related incident. Both Jeanette and Roy were struggling with issues related to substance abuse, and authorities have speculated that these homicides could have been connected to local drug activity. However, no concrete suspects or leads have emerged, leaving both cases unsolved.
The police have continued to seek information from the public regarding these events, as they suspect that there are individuals in the community who might have valuable knowledge that could assist in solving these homicides. Jeanette's family has also been vocal, urging anyone who might have seen or heard anything to come forward, as the details of what happened on that tragic day remain incomplete. Despite significant time having passed, the Akron Police Department remains hopeful that new information will surface that could help bring justice to Jeanette and her family.
