Akron police: 25-year-old man charged for killing woman in her own driveway

AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - Akron police said a 25-year-old man has been charged with aggravated murder for allegedly murdering a woman in her own driveway in April.

Antonio Miller was arrested on Sept. 16 at a home in the 500 block of Roslyn Avenue, according to Lt. Michael Miller of the Akron Police Department.

Antonio allegedly shot and killed 50-year-old Tina Case in her own driveway on April 7 at around 10:35 p.m., according to previous reports.

Editor’s note: Below is a previous report by 19 News regarding the homicide.

Police found Case in her car at her home, located in the 600 block of Koerber Avenue, according to previous reports.

Officials previously indicated Antonio allegedly knew Case and waited for her to get home before ambushing her.

Tina’s daughter Gabriel said her mom was ‘their best friend.’

“She was actually our rock, she was our world, she was the person we called on when we didn’t have anyone or anything to actually depend on,” Gabriel said.

They never imagined life without her, but that nightmare tragically became their reality.

“Words are hard to explain the things we have been going through, the emotions we feel, not having her here to call on throughout the time that we need her the most,” Gabriel said.

To know someone is being held responsible has brought Gabriel and her sister, Danielle, some peace during this devastating time.

“She definitely let us know at the end of the day it would always be a tomorrow and to always keep our head up and keep pushing forward,” Gabriel said, “and that’s what I’m going to do for her.”

Antonio will be arraigned in court on Sept. 19.
