A pair of shootings in Akron over the weekend left a 39-year-old man dead and a 19-year-old seriously injured.

Police say the two separate shootings happened on Saturday night around 11:30. A 39-year-old died after he was shot in the head while sitting inside a parked truck on Dover Avenue.

The victim has been identified as 39 year-old Otis Clay Jr. of Akron. An autopsy showed that the cause of his death was a gunshot wound to the head, a homicide.

No suspects in that case. Clay was a concessions employee at Canal Park for the Akron RubberDucks.

A 19 year-old was shot in the face inside a stolen car on McKinley Avenue. He's in critical condition.

A 15 year-old was charged with felonious assault - he and 18 year-old Ronald Henderson were both charged with receiving stolen property. Police say Henderson also removed a gun from the scene.
