AKRON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Justice served, in a horrendous killing in Akron that took the life of a recent high school graduate.

The jury came back with the Adarus Black verdict Tuesday afternoon.
He’ll be sentenced at the end of the month.
Akron police say Black who turns 19 on Wednesday shot and killed the recent high school graduate as she drove her grandmother on errands.
