2 dead and 2 injured after Monday night shooting in Cleveland

CLEVELAND — Cleveland Police are investigating a shooting in the Lee-Miles neighborhood that left two teens dead and two other people injured.

It was around 10:40 p.m. Monday night when police were called to Invermere Avenue for reports of gunfire. That same gunfire is what Rachel McDade heard from her home.

“I heard what I thought was firecrackers, but it was just continuous,” said McDade.

She tells us she is close with her neighbors, so McDade immediately ran over to see what was happening and make sure everyone was okay.

“I came through, came across the grass, and came into the side door, right here,” McDade said. “I saw one of the boys lying there, and I tried to administer CPR. I didn't really feel the pulse, so it was kind of late. I looked behind me. I saw the other.”

Cleveland Police tell us two young men, ages 17 and 19, were found dead with multiple gunshot wounds. Two other men, ages 17 and 34, were also shot and went to the hospital on their own.

The victims have been identified as 19-year-old Dysean Russell and 17-year-old Hasani Reed.

“There was some type of dispute; some type of disagreement occurred. We believe some of the victims involved are family, and that's part of the ongoing investigation,” said Sergeant Freddy Diaz, public information officer, Cleveland Division of Police.

Officers confiscated two guns at the scene, but no arrests have been made. We also asked police whether they believe there may have been multiple shooters.

“That's part of what we're trying to determine. Two people are deceased; two individuals were transported to the hospital. At this point, again, we don't believe there's an active threat to the public, but we're still trying to determine what exactly happened,” Diaz said.

As investigators work to piece together the sequence of events, McDade is now trying to pick up the pieces.

“No matter what happened, it was still two young men who lost their lives, and it's like I don't, I don't know how to put that into words,” McDade said. "I was devastated. I was devastated. I couldn't imagine how either one of their parents, grandparents, family members, anybody would feel after this."

For 15 years, this was a quiet neighborhood McDade called home. Now, it’s forever marked by the violence that happened next door.

“So sorry to the families, both sides, my neighbors. This is a horrible tragedy, and I hope that you know. I don't know where you can find any peace in this, but as much as I can offer, you know, strength, love, because this was a lot,” McDade said.
