(Black) Michael Hendon sentenced to three life terms in Barberton slayings (of White family)
     An Akron man was given three consecutive life sentences Tuesday for complicity to commit aggravated murder in the 2013 New Year’s Eve shooting deaths of two Barberton teens and their father. Michael Deon Hendon, 23, who was convicted of the crime in a Summit County jury trial last month, is not eligible for parole under the sentencing order of Common Pleas Judge Amy Corrigall Jones. The scene became tense minutes later when the father of one of the young victims stood and shouted at Hendon from the gallery’s front row: “You killed my daughter” — followed by profanity as he began crying uncontrollably. A sheriff’s deputy quickly calmed the situation and instructed those in the gallery, more than two dozen, to remain in their seats until other deputies escorted Hendon out of the courthouse. Deputies later talked to the grieving man, Dan Stephens of Barberton, who is the biological father of 18-year-old victim Ashley Carpenter, but did not place him under arrest. Ashley’s father figure, John Kohler, 42, and her brother, David Carpenter-Kohler, 14, were shot in the head during a home-invasion robbery planned by Michael Hendon, trial testimony showed. His older brother, Eric Donta Hendon, 32, was identified by both sides as the shooter. Both men were armed with handguns and went after a stash of marijuana and money that Kohler, a small-time seller, had kept hidden in a closet safe.

Centia Renee Martin, 36, was sentenced to 35 years to life for the brutal crime after a jury found her guilty of killing the 74-year-old retired police officer.
