“My best friend got shot in the gray house on 3rd!” a panicked woman yelled in a 911 call from that morning. “I can identify those kids that kicked the door in!” Officers told 19 News they found the 46-year-old on the kitchen floor of a home on 3rd Street NW in Canton a little after 10 in the morning. He had been shot in the neck. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital where he died.Neighbors said Childs was originally from Massillon and was a good guy who had recently gone down the wrong path.

Kids killing adults and a lot of gang-related stuff, and it is, it’s really sad.”“His dad played keyboard, so he came to the church that you seen me at Friendship and he played there for a little bit,” Carpenter said.
