AKRON, Ohio (WJW) – Two men have been arrested in connection to the shooting death of an Akron 19-year-old in December.

According to a press release from the Akron Police Department, officers arrived at the Summa Health Barberton Hospital on Dec. 12 around 1:45 a.m. after receiving a call from the hospital about a man that was dropped off with an apparent gunshot wound.
