Minneapolis family sues Summit County, others for 2022 murder case—News 5 (ABC) Cleveland

SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio — A grieving Minnesota family is seeking justice after the alleged actions of an Akron man.

“I fear for many, many people who are potentially in danger because of a system that handles people in this way,” said Janet Peterson, the mom of Ryan Peterson, who was allegedly killed by Franklin White of Akron.

On August 12, 2022, Janet said she learned her son had been killed.

To make matters even more tragic, Peterson said her daughter-in-law Kassie watched the murder unfold.

“She will never be able to be completely whole,” said Peterson.

Now, this grieving family and their attorney, Peter Pattakos, are calling for justice after they alleged Franklin White of Akron used a battering ram to break down a door to 32-year-old Ryan Peterson’s home and brutally stab him to death.
