(Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only)
Canton, Ohio — Canton, Ohio — On December 18, 2025, Walmart store employees contacted Canton Police after detaining two people suspected of shoplifting and brought them into the store’s loss prevention office to wait for officers. A Canton police officer arrived and began the standard process of identifying the suspects and checking for weapons. At that point, the situation appeared calm, with no immediate signs that the encounter would turn violent. Several minutes into the detention, the male suspect, later identified as 21-year-old Shane C. L. Newman, suddenly reached into his clothing and produced a handgun while seated in the office. He pointed the weapon at the officer and attempted to fire, but the gun did not discharge. The officer and a Walmart loss prevention employee immediately rushed Newman, wrestling him to the ground and securing him in handcuffs. No one was injured during the struggle.

Police later said the firearm was loaded, and additional suspected narcotics were recovered after the arrest, turning what began as a shoplifting investigation into a major violent felony case handled by the Canton Police Department. Newman, now faces multiple felony charges, including attempted murder, after officers recovered both the firearm and suspected narcotics following his arrest. Investigators say Newman was legally prohibited from possessing a weapon due to prior convictions. His alleged accomplice, 23-year-old Katerina D. Jeffrey, was also taken into custody and charged in connection with the theft. Canton Municipal Judge Mary A. Falvey set his bond at $1 million at an arraignment Dec. 19. She ordered him to have no contact with the victim and to have no contact with Walmart. The judge set a $500,000 bond for Jeffrey and ordered her to have no contact with Walmart. Jeffrey is charged with complicity to commit robbery.
