On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at approximately 5:23 p.m., officers with the Stow Police Department responded to a residence at 4165 Vira Road to assist a landlord with a tenant-related matter. While officers were at the scene, family members of the resident arrived with concerns about their loved one, explaining that they had been unable to reach her.
When officers checked the residence, they discovered a woman who had passed away from gunshot wounds. Authorities are investigating the case as a homicide. The Stow Police Department’s detectives are leading the investigation, with assistance from the Summit County Medical Examiner and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Officials have asked anyone with information that could help investigators to contact the Stow Police Department Detective Bureau.
As the investigation continues, the circumstances surrounding this tragic case remain under review. At such a painful time, our thoughts are with Retta Allison’s loved ones and everyone affected by this heartbreaking loss. 💔
