AKRON, Ohio — A jury has convicted a 27-year-old Akron man for the 2022 killing of his ex-girlfriend's mother, Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich announced Monday.
Antonio Miller was found guilty of aggravated murder, as well as two counts of murder and one count of felonious assault (all with gun specifications). He now faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Late in the evening on April 7, 2022, Akron police found 50-year-old Tina Case dead in the driver's seat of her car after being shot multiple times. In a statement issued the next morning, authorities said they believed "the suspect knew the victim and may have waited for her to return home before ambushing her as she pulled into the driveway" on Koerber Avenue in Kenmore.
Officials exclaimed they had identified a "person of interest," but it would be five months before Miller was arrested by police and U.S. Marshals at a home on Roslyn Avenue. According to prosecutors, Miller and Case's daughter had been in a five-year on-and-off romantic relationship that ended just prior to Case's murder.
Miller, who has been held in the Summit County Jail since his September 2022 arrest, will be sentenced by visiting Judge James Kimbler on Oct. 28.
