The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is looking for Randy Fitzgerald, of Akron, who is this week's Fugitive of the Week.

U.S. Marshals and Akron Police are reporting that Fitzgerald is wanted for Weapons Under Disability in connection to an incident that left a small child shot in the stomach.

Back on May 20th, three children, ages 8,9 and 12, were left alone in a home on Marcy Street, when one of those children found one a gun, believed to belong to Fitzgerald, and shot another child in the stomach. The child lived. In the home, responding officers found another gun, drugs, and body armor. A warrant was issued for Fitzgerald who has been on the run since.

Anyone with information regarding Randy Fitzgerald, please contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED or Text keyword WANTED and tip to 847-411 (tip411). Tipsters can remain anonymous and reward money is available.

More information has been released in the case of the skeletal remains that were found on Marcy Street in Akron back in early January.

The Summit County Medical Examiner says the anthropology team at Mercyhurst University determined that the remains are those of a white male, 30-50 years of age (likely late 30's to early 40's) and possible between 5'9" to 6'5"(likely around 6'1" to 6'2").

The identification is still unknown. The Medical Examiner's Office will be submitting samples for a DNA profile.
