GREEN, Ohio — The Ohio State Highway Patrol has released dash and body worn camera footage from a deadly incident on I-77 Thursday evening in Summit County.
Footage showed the scene after 23-year-old Marquise Banks from Akron was shot while driving southbound on I-77 in Green just north of the Akron-Canton Regional Airport.
Authorities said a passenger in a pickup truck fired several shots at Banks' black SUV, which then traveled across the median spun out into the northbound lanes and crashed into a black Mercedes.
"The car was coming towards me spinning in the middle and I tried to go as far to the right as I could but he just blasted me," the driver of the Mercedes said to the state trooper.
A few Good Samaritans stopped to help render aid to Banks before EMS arrived on scene.
"Nobody wanted to stop. It felt like everybody was just like, 'ok, its just a normal car crash,'" Robby Hardy said.
Hardy was one of the few that stopped. He said they did the best they could to keep Banks alive. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.
"Driving next to somebody can lead to death nowadays. That's crazy," Hardy said.
The video shows multiple bullet holes in the driver side window.
The incident weighed heavy on Hardy.
"I didn't even want to drive the next day," Hardy said. "I will never stay next to somebody if I'm on a two-lane road. I'll either pass them or stay behind them. I don't think I'll ever stay next to somebody."
The suspect and pickup truck fled the area without being identified, and no arrests have been made. Anyone with information is urged to immediately call the Summit County Sheriff's Office's detective bureau at 330-630-6317.
