Kamar Marshall Parham pleaded guilty Wednesday in Summit County Court of Common Pleas and was sentenced to 10 to 12 years in prison for his role in a road-rage shooting that struck two cars in Cuyahoga Falls.

The plea ended one branch of a case that prosecutors tied to a violent confrontation that began on Home Avenue in Akron and continued to Main Street in Cuyahoga Falls. Cuyahoga Falls police said the shots were fired around 4:45 p.m. on Nov. 9, 2025, and Parham later admitted to three counts of felonious assault and one count of tampering with evidence. The sentence gives the court a punishment that matches the seriousness of a shooting case that put two vehicles in the line of fire and brought the matter before local judges months after the incident.

Parham and co-defendant Lashay Nicole Marie Jackson turned themselves in to the U.S. Marshals in Akron on Nov. 17, 2025, after investigators linked both names to the shooting. Jackson was indicted on three counts of felonious assault, but her case is still moving toward trial rather than resolution. Her jury trial is scheduled for Aug. 3, leaving the second half of the case unresolved even as Parham begins his prison term.

The split outcome matters because it leaves one defendant sentenced and the other headed for a courtroom, with the facts of the shooting still likely to be tested before a jury. For Parham, the plea closed the door on a trial. For Jackson, the next date on the calendar now carries the weight of a case that has already produced a prison sentence and a clear account from police of how the episode unfolded.
