Stow, Ohio man, Jason Reeves, pleaded not guilty Monday morning and is being held on $1 million bond for allegedly murdering his mother, Susan Reeves. She was 56.

In audio released by the Stow Police Department, Reeves, 22, can be heard gasping for air and crying out Saturday night as he reported his mother murder. “My momma’s been murdered, “she’s dead,” Reeves can be heard telling a 911 operator.

During the 911 call, Reeves said that he showed up to his mother’s apartment and found Susan Reeves, 56, stabbed to death in her bed. Stow police officers and Ohio BCI agents arrived to Susan’s home on Graham Road, where Reeves was waiting with his father, the victim’s ex-husband, and a friend. Police say Reeves was interviewed about the crime, but was later released. Then, on Sunday morning, Reeves turned himself in and was charged with aggravated murder in his mother’s death. source

Reeves was booked and transferred to the Summit County Jail. He appeared for arraignment via video Monday morning at the Stow Municipal Court.

Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends at this difficult time.
