Akron man sentenced in death of child

A 19 year old Akron man is charged with aggravated murder in connection with the death of a 1 year old. Police say Ian Belcher is responsible for the death of Arteyon Cannon. The boy was found unresponsive in an apartment on Hancock Avenue in Akron last Thursday, and was transported to Akron Children’s Hospital where he died in the Emergency Department. Police say the mother of the child left the boy with his godmother, who then left the boy with her boyfriend. That’s when the injury allegedly occurred. The autopsy revealed blunt force injuries. There is a Go Fund Me page set up for his funeral.
