<p>Akron Police Chief Stephen Mylett said last week that the department&#8217;s investigation into the fatal beating of 17-year-old Ethan Liming found no evidence that the killing was a hate crime.</p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Ethan, who is white, was reportedly beaten to death near basketball courts of NBA star and political activist LeBron James’ I PROMISE School in Akron on June 2. Since the incident, three black males — Donovon Jones, 21; Tyler Stafford, 19; and Deshawn Stafford Jr., 20 — have been arrested in connection to the boy’s death.</span></p>
<p>Mylett &#8220;confirmed new details Wednesday and said there is no evidence the murder was a hate crime,&#8221; Cleveland 19 <a href="https://www.cleveland19.com/2022/06/11/3-arrested-beating-death-ethan-liming-outside-i-promise-school-us-marshals-say/">reported</a>.</p>
<p>“I am happy to report that today, officers with the Akron Police Department, made several arrests in connection with the death of Ethan Liming,&#8221; the police chief said in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;We thank the members of the community for their outpouring of support that helped investigators throughout this investigation,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We will continue to follow any leads that will result in bringing those responsible for Ethan’s death to justice.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;While I believe the news of the arrests will be welcomed by Ethan’s family and loved ones, we all recognize that nothing will bring Ethan back,&#8221; Mylett added. &#8220;Violence in this country must stop. We are losing too many lives to senseless acts of violence.”</p>
<p>Bill Liming, Ethan&#8217;s father, told <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/akron-canton-news/family-of-akron-teen-found-beaten-to-death-plead-for-someone-to-come-forward" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">News 5 Cleveland</span></a> last week that his<span data-preserver-spaces="true"> son’s two friends, who are black, tried to rescue the 17-year-old while he was still breathing, but were chased and one was assaulted by the perpetrators, who then “finished my son off.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">&#8220;It’s been said that they abandoned Ethan and it’s not true,&#8221; said Bill, a reverend. &#8220;They did everything they possibly could to help Ethan. They called 911 to get help. And when Ethan was knocked out on the ground, his two African-American friends tried to pick up his body and put them in the car, to help save his life. He was still alive at that point. He was still breathing.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>The Liming family expressed their gratitude to their community in a recent statement.</p>
<p>“Our whole family is beyond thankful for the help the community has given us,&#8221; the family said. &#8220;Throughout this whole process we’ve seen horrific things, but the good we’ve seen is just so much brighter.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We love our son, and we miss him dearly,&#8221; they added.</p>
