AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - The bench trial for the 33-year-old man accused of murdering an Akron mother in July 2022 was continued until November due to "unforeseen evidentiary issues."

Quinton Nixon's trial began Oct. 1 in front of Judge Christine Croce.

Nixon is representing himself and the evidentiary issues arose during testimony on Oct. 9.

Judge Croce continued the trial to Nov. 5.

Akron police said Nixon killed Toni Westover, 34, on July 25, 2022.
