A Maple Heights man just thought he was helping a woman move out of her apartment on Wednesday, but instead ended up in a fight and was shot.

Akron Police say it happened in the 2500 block of Romig Road around 1PM. 21-year-old Willie Brown was helping the woman move out of the apartment, when the female's boyfriend and another man showed up.

Browns and the boyfriend's friend got into a fight, and eventually Brown was shot in the right arm.

He was taken to Akron General Medical Center, where his injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

The suspect has a tear-drop tattoo near his right eye. He is also described as a man in his 40's, and was wearing a red sweat suit at the time of the altercation.

The suspect remains at large.
