A gun used in connection with the murders of a young girl and a man was also fired during a separate shooting last summer in Akron, according to police.
Detectives revealed the link to News 5 in an effort to generate leads in the unsolved shootings.
Nine days before the double homicide, a barrage of bullets was fired on Talbot Avenue near McKinley Avenue. A camera in the neighborhood captured the sound of the repeated gunfire and video of the cars involved. The video captured the Dodge going quickly in reverse before crashing into a parked car in a driveway. Amazingly, no one was seriously injured.
"We sent the cartridge casings from both scenes to BCI which was able to determine the same pistol fired. 45-caliber casings through their lab testing," Smith said. "Honestly, we need help from the public," Smith said."We just want to remind the community that this case is still going on. We don't want people to forget about Journei or Johnny."
