An Ohio father was trying to rescue his 12-year-old son, who was being held against his will by another set of parents, and gave his life trying to get him back, police said.

Norman Duncan, 37, a father of five kids, was involved in an altercation on April 14 that started when his 12-year-old son and another 12-year-old boy got into a fight in a neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio, according to WJW, a local Fox affiliate. The other boy’s parents — Marvin Atkins, 46, and Ann Marie Clayton, 43 — became involved and allegedly held Duncan’s son against his will. When Duncan arrived at the scene, he reportedly began fighting with Atkins.

Police said that Clayton then allegedly hit Duncan in the head with a brick, WJW reported.
