CANTON

Canton police have arrested three suspects in the Thursday morning robbery and shooting death of Dennis Robb, 58, of Salem.

Canton Police Detective Sgt. Victor George said it appears Robb was living with a friend or relative in the Salem area but had not lived in the community very long. He declined to give Robb’s street address.

Robb was found shot in the head in a hallway at Skyline Terrace, a public housing complex, in the southeastern part of Canton at 2:30 a.m. Thursday.

On Friday, Canton police arrested Tiffany Robinson, 23, of Canton, and charged her with complicity to aggravated murder and complicity to aggravated robbery.

She turned herself in at the Canton Police Department.

She remains in the Stark County Jail and will make an initial appearance Monday in Canton Municipal Court.

Two men, Cortes Everett, 24, and Lorenzo Lee Burton Jr., 25, both of Canton, were arrested earlier in the case and also remain in the Stark County Jail.

Everett is charged with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Burton was charged with complicity to aggravated murder and complicity to aggravated robbery.

Police believe Robb and the three others were in the same bar, called Sparky’s in southwest Canton, earlier the evening Robb was killed. Police believe Robb was the victim of a robbery.

Robinson, Everett and Burton knew one other, but it is believed that Robb did not know the others, Sgt. George said. None of the three suspects lived in the apartment building, he said.

Robb’s vehicle was found outside the apartment complex, but George wouldn’t say how it got there.
