CLEVELAND — A 25-year-old man who has been identified as a suspect in a fatal shooting outside the Dog Pound Lounge last year was arrested Friday morning in Euclid.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, Tyreid Manningham was taken into custody in the 900 block of East 224th Street. Manningham was arrested less than a day after the warrant was filed for his arrest.

In July 2018, 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.
