AKRON, Ohio - An Akron man was indicted Tuesday for allegedly raping and killing an elderly woman in her own home.
Devon Owens, 38, was charged with rape and causing the death of 73-year-old Clara Virginia Wilfong, of Akron, on May 28, according to Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Walsh.
Akron police said that Wilfong's family members forced their way in after she didn’t answer the door, and found Wilfong unresponsive on her bed and Owens partially-clothed in her bedroom. Witnesses told police he fled out of a window.
Owens faces murder charges, two counts of rape, and aggravated burglary. He will be arraigned on Friday, July 9.
