On Friday, the mayor of Cleveland Heights, Khalil Seben, announced that the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury determined criminal charges are not warranted for three Cleveland Heights police officers involved in the shooting death of 18-year-old Christian Tyson Thomas.

In August of 2024, police were called to a home on Yellowstone Road for a disturbance between Thomas and his father.
