Amidst the violence that occurred over this past weekend, four other shootings took place Saturday and Sunday that resulted in four deaths, Cleveland Police said.
Early Saturday morning, officers responded to a call about an unknown incident on Earlwood Road. Upon arrival, officers were met with a 22-year-old woman who informed them that her 27-year-old male cousin and her child’s father, 29, had a verbal altercation that ended with the father shooting the cousin, officials said.
The woman transported her cousin to University Hospital, where he was then pronounced dead, according to officials.
The father fled from the scene, and the incident is still under investigation.
The other three incidents occurred on Sunday.
Around 3 a.m., officers responded to a Shotspotter alert that multiple shots were fired on E. 112th Street. Preliminary information indicates that there was a party at the house the officers responded to, where at least two suspects began firing toward the party, according to officials.
When officers arrived, they found two men, 24 and 23, with gunshot wounds. One had a gunshot wound to the leg, and one had a gunshot wound to the back, officials said.
The two victims were transported to University Hospital, where the 24-year-old man with the gunshot wound to the back was pronounced dead, according to officials.
