The woman later died from her injuries at Summa Akron City Hospital. She has since been identified as Atavia Robinson of Akron, according to the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office.

The man was transported to Cleveland Clinic Akron General Medical Center and is currently in stable condition.

No suspects have been identified as authorities continue their investigation. A GoFundMe has been set up by Robinson's family in an attempt to raise reward money for "anyone who comes forward with information which leads to the arrest of the person or persons involved in the cold blooded murder."
