    D’Lawrence Scott Sentenced in 2022 OH Murder of Jerry Davis

    CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A father and son accused of fatally shooting a 15-year-old Akron boy earlier this week, were arrested by members of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force in Cleveland Thursday afternoon.

    According to U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott, D’Lawrence Scott, 19, and his dad, Lawrence Scott Jr., 56, were arrested in a car near the intersection of E. 79th Street and Kinsman Road.

    Task force members said they witnessed the men leaving a home on E. 147th and followed them to the intersection. The 19-year-old was hiding in the backseat of the car, according to the U.S. Marshals.

    D’Lawrence Scott shot and killed Jerry Davis on May 24 outside a home in the 1000 block of Biruta Street in Akron, according to authorities.

    U.S. Marshal Elliott said the 19-year-old Scott got into a verbal altercation with a woman at that home and Davis stepped in to defend the woman.

    The 19-year-old Scott then allegedly went to a car parked outside, grabbed a gun and shot Davis.

    Scott’s father then allegedly drove them both away from the crime scene.

    When Akron officers arrived at the home, they said Davis was located on the porch suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso.

    Officers administered first aid until EMS transported Davis to Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Akron, where he was pronounced dead at 7:43 p.m.

    The 19-year-old Scott is charged with aggravated murder and his father is charged with obstruction of justice.

    “The US Marshals Service has a strong partnership with the Akron Police Department. Today, that strong partnership resulted in the arrest of two dangerous fugitives and hopefully some justice for the 15-year-old victim,” said U.S. Marshal.

    Barberton man gets at least 21 years in prison for slaying of Akron teen

    AKRON, Ohio — A man convicted earlier this month of fatally shooting a 15-year-old boy has been sentenced to 21 years to life in prison.

    D’Lawrence Scott, 20, of Barberton, will be eligible for parole after serving 21 years, according to Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh.

    A Summit County jury convicted Scott of two counts of murder, improper discharging a firearm at a habitation, and felonious assault in connection with the shooting death of Jerry Davis last year.

    Prosecutors say Scott was involved in an argument with his then-pregnant girlfriend in May 2022 at a residence on the 1000 block of Biruta Street in Akron. When the argument turned physical, Davis, the victim’s brother, and and an adult neighbor stepped in to help the woman, authorities say.

    Scott’s father, Lawrence Scott Jr., 57, arrived to pick up D’Lawrence and his two children, prosecutors say. After putting his kids in the car, D’Lawrence Scott grabbed a gun, returned to the home and opened fire, hitting Davis in the chest. Davis died later that day at Akron Children’s Hospital. Scott left with his father and both were arrested two days later in Cleveland.

    On Feb. 16, Lawrence Scott pleaded guilty to two counts of obstructing justice, Walsh said. He was sentenced to two years of probation.
