The Daily Record
ORRVILLE Tiffany Lamb last saw her friend Jadea Jarvis around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday leaving Lamb’s home in Smithville.
The 25-year-old mother of two had decided once and for all she was leaving the father of her children. Lamb had offered her a place to stay. Jarvis just needed to return to her apartment at the French Village to pick up a few items. No longer would she suffer domestic abuse.
“She was supposed to come back. She was supposed to stay here, to stay safe,” Lamb said. “She didn’t make it.
Two hours after she left Lamb’s home, police found Jarvis lying in a pool of blood in the parking lot outside her Orrville home. Her ex-boyfriend, Kenneth Crenshaw, was standing over her. He was holding a gun.
A little more than 5% of Wayne County residents tested positive for COVID-19 in 2020. The percentage was slightly less in Holmes County. The virus may have spared most of the population but its impact left everyone scrambling.
Gov. Mike DeWine acted earlier than most leaders across the United States to prevent a surge of COVID-19 patients from flooding the state’s hospitals. The Ohio Department of Health issued months-long stay-at-home orders forcing nursing homes to lock down, schools to close, and restaurants to transition to carryout or delivery service only.
Manufacturers changed their productions to make personal protective equipment. Many small businesses closed shop, some permanently, and community celebrations were canceled left and right.
