Friends and family members of 27-year-old Leah McLaurin are calling for increased security and accountability at Cleveland gas stations.
Police report that McLaurin was shot and killed during an argument outside the Marathon gas station at E. 140 and St. Clair on Sept. 10.
Police report two other people were hit by the gunfire, and said it was the second shooting at that location over the past 10 weeks.
McLaurin's Godmother, Marcia Lane, told News 5 drastic steps need to be taken to make that location safer for everyone.
"If Leah can hear me, I will never give up this fight to stop the violence," said Lane.
"If they want to keep this Marathon open, they need to close it at 11, before the bars close. Or you need to put a real Cleveland police officer there 24 hours, seven days a week."
Lane, who runs her own news blog and Facebook page, The News Junkie Daily, said the city has to be more involved in holding some gas station owners more accountable.
Cleveland Councilman Jeff Johnson agreed, and said the city needs to more often implement the Cleveland nuisance law to get gas station owners to improve security.
Johnson said there have been 10 Cleveland gas station shootings since the beginning of April, and he believes the nuisance law should be more often enforced by the city safety director, because the Marathon gas station owner isn't cooperating.
"It's not working, the system is broken," said Johnson.
"The owner has refused the communities request to clean his act up, has refused to deal with the issues of hours. He's 24 hours."
Cleveland Councilman Michael Polensek co-authored the nuisance law with Cleveland Councilwoman Don Brady, and said it allows the city safety director to crackdown on businesses and locations that have more than 3 police calls to their location within a year.
Polensek said the safety director can then send a complaint letter to the business demanding that the owner explain what changes will be made to improve safety.
But Polensek said that is not happening nearly enough.
"It's the OK corral, anything goes, it's shoot-em' up, it's sell what ever you want to whoever," said Polensek. "It's unacceptable."
"It's up to the safety director, it's up to the Cleveland Police Department to impose the restrictions, to impose the action. If they don't do it, then it means nothing."
News 5 contacted Cleveland city hall about nuisance law enforcement, but we're still waiting for response.
Police said a 38-year-old man has now been arrested in the shooting death of Leah McLaurin.
