Akron police arrested Aaron D. Diamond, 33, last night in connection with the stabbing death of Latricia Shealy, 31.

According to Lt. Rick Edwards, police spokesman, Diamond, who resides in the 1000 block of Yukon Drive in Akron, was taken into custody at 11:50 p.m. after turning himself into police. Diamond, who is described as a former boyfriend of the victim, has been charged with murder and is being held in the Summit County jail.

Shealy was found bleeding in the middle of Winton Avenue early Monday morning. She was taken to Akron General Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 12:58 a.m.

Frantic calls from several Winton Avenue residents, which were recorded on 911 tapes, reported a car crash and a man fleeing from the vehicle. Those same residents reported that a woman, who was later identified as Shealy, was in the street crawling from the car.

Shealy, who worked at First Communications in Akron, was the mother of a 2-year-old son.
