CLEVELAND — Charges against a 25-year-old man accused of shooting another man at a Cleveland bar last summer where rapper Q-Money just finished filming a rap video have been dropped.
Charges were dropped and the case was dismissed against Tyreid Manningham on April 10 after a Cuyahoga County Grand Jury voted against indicting him on an aggravated murder charge.
Manningham was arrested earlier this month by the U.S. Marshals Service for his alleged involvement in a 2018 fatal shooting outside the Dog Pound Lounge in Cleveland.
Local rapper Q-money had just finished filming a music video at the bar when shots rang out and injured seven people.
Witnesses told police that there was a fight between two women in the parking lot of the bar and two men went over to break up the fight.
When police arrived, they found a group of people standing around 27-year-old Cortez Ruffin lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and stomach.
According to the police report, witnesses at the scene said people started to administer first aid to Cortez when another unknown male stood over Cortez and fired a few more rounds at him before running southbound on East 185th Street. Cortez was taken the hospital where he later died.
