GUILTY OH - I'ron Jailen Cannon, 27, out w/friends, live videos show 1 w/gun, Akron, 18 Oct 2020 *arrest*

[evilwise]

So many "possession of a weapon under disability" charges mean they were all ex-cons so the cleanup was probably gang recruited. We see a lot of that here in Ohio for some reason, a killer calls in his connection he made on the inside to clean up after him and they drag some girls into it who are usually drug addicts.

Motive in this case was probably something real stupid like "disrespect". That Hornbeck guy looks like he probably has big time self image issues and everyone was drunk and sleep deprived. Cannon wanted to leave and probably said something that set afro-beard off.

The Medina County judge sentenced Justin Hornbeck to between 30 and 35 years in prison.

Hornbeck was initially charged with murder for the shooting death of Cannon, but he pleaded to lesser charges.

As part of the deal, the murder charge was dropped in exchange for a guilty plea from the 28-year-old Uniontown man on a count of involuntary manslaughter. He also pleaded to tampering with evidence, having weapons under disability, obstructing justice, gross abuse of a corpse, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.

The father of Cannon, the 27-year-old victim from Akron, delivered a powerful victim impact statement directly to the man convicted in his son’s death.

“How can you chop a human being up like he’s nothing?,” Cannon’s father, Michael Taylor, asked Hornbeck during Monday’s sentencing. “How? How do you stand here? You should be going to the electric chair.”

'They took my son's body, tore it to pieces.' 5 sent to prison for roles in Cannon murder

The last five of eight suspects in the murder of Akron man Iron Cannon sentenced to years in prison for hiding the crime, disposing body in Lake Milton.

www.beaconjournal.com

The last five of eight suspects in the October 2020 murder of an Akron man were sentenced to years in prison for their roles in hiding the crime and disposing of his body.

Medina County Prosecutor S. Forrest Thompson said up to six of the eight suspects were present one night shortly after the killing of Iron Jailen Cannon, 27, in October 2020, when the group parked in two vehicles on Interstate 76 over Lake Milton, pretending one of the vehicles was disabled so they could throw nine plastic buckets containing Cannon's body into the water.

On Friday, Medina County Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Collier sentenced brothers Tyrone L. Render, 29, formerly of Wooster, and Walter L. Render IV, 30, of Mentor, to up to 12 years in prison. ...

Autumn M. Knight, 29, of Cuyahoga Falls, was sentenced to three years in prison ...

Marcus Y. Clark, 56, of Akron, was sentenced to two years in prison ...

Antonio W. Moore, 39, of Akron, was given a one-year sentence ...

[...]

"When you look at all the players, they were all orchestrated and coordinated by Tyrone Render," Thompson said. "Why they became involved may remain a mystery forever. They took it to such an obscene level that it defies logic."

[...]

Within days of the shooting, Thompson said, suspects including Hornbeck and the Renders took Cannon's body to a location in a rural area in northern Summit County, where they burned his remains "for hours" in a barrel, then buried what was left in a shallow grave.

Thompson said accomplices returned a day later, dug up the remains and took them to a garage in Akron, where they were put into nine plastic buckets, which were then filled with concrete.

Shortly thereafter, a group of suspects got into two vehicles and drove the buckets to Lake Milton.
