CLEVELAND — The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor announced Thursday that two men have been indicted for their alleged roles in the Browns' home opener shooting in the Flats.
According to Prosecutor Michael O'Malley, 21-year-old Savone Robinson, 19-year-old Erick Sharp were indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday for their alleged involvement in the shooting.
“What should have been a day of excitement and celebration turned into a scene of fear and chaos,” said O’Malley. “Firing multiple rounds into a crowd of hundreds shows a complete disregard for human life. It's a miracle no one was killed.”
Robinson was indicted on the following charges:
- Six counts of felonious assault
- One count of discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises
- Two counts of aggravated riot
Sharp was indicted on the following charge:
- Two counts of aggravated riot
A 17-year-old was previously charged in juvenile court on the following charges:
- Seven counts of felonious assault
- One count of discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises
- One count of aggravated riot
- One count of having weapons under disability
- One count of tampering with evidence
- One count of carrying a concealed weapon
- One count of improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle
