CLEVELAND — Cleveland Metroparks Police are investigating a deadly shooting at Euclid Beach.
County officials had scheduled a holiday weekend safety press conference before the shooting.
Watch:
Cleveland Metroparks told News 5 police responded to a report of a group of people and shots fired at Euclid Beach after park hours around 12:40 a.m. Thursday.
Cleveland Metroparks said a 20-year-old man was shot and taken to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
A second person was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said they are currently interviewing six to eight people who were at the scene.
The crime scene stretches from the entrance of the pier to a nearby apartment complex.
Chief Kelly Stillman says this kind of violence is out of the ordinary, they usually deal with minor issues for this park, and reminds the public that the area is still safe.
There are no new measures in place preventing people from coming to the park after hours, but if violations occur, citations can be issued.
"At 11 o'clock, pack up and go," Stillman said.
The park is usually open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., but will be closed Thursday morning as the investigation continues.
It's the second deadly shooting after hours at a Metropark in the last 22 days:
