Akron Police have arrested two men who dropped 21-year old Celina White off at Akron General Medical Center after she had been shot inside a van. Lieutenant Rick Edwards says the pair then drove away from the hospital taking the crime scene with them.

Edwards says the rented van was later found by police abandoned on Garfield Avenue in north Akron.

Samuel Williams III, 24, of N Hawkins St. and Cory Lashawn Little, 24, of W Crosier Ave were charged with Obstructing Justice and Tampering with Evidence.

No one has been charged yet with pulling the trigger in that shooting. White remains in critical condition.

The investigation continues.
