Mier said the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Pasquale died “as a result of a physical assault.”<\/p>\n

The victim’s sister, Rachel Pasquale, said Shawnna came to Copley about a month ago and was living in the hotel. <\/p>\n

Rachel said her sister had a big heart and always saw the good in people. The family is now looking for answers and calling for justice.<\/p>\n

“I can’t believe it myself because of how sweet of an individual she was and for someone to put that much aggression towards her… I need to know why. I need to know what made you that angry that you could take someone’s life with your bare hands,” Rachel said.<\/p>\n

No one has been charged. Police are following leads as they work to identify a possible suspect.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about it is asked to call Det. Jerry Perona at 330-670-2708 or Lt. Mike Yovanno at 330-670-2723. Tips can be anonymous.<\/p>\n
