A 33-year-old Akron man has been charged with murder after his mother died Wednesday from injuries sustained during an incident in Goodyear Heights, according to Akron police.

On Monday, officers responded to a report of a domestic altercation at a property in the 1000 block of Brittain Road. When officers arrived, they discovered a 56-year-old woman with several injuries, including several lacerations, according to the police report.
