Gunfire ripped through West 46th Street in Cleveland’s 2nd Police District on Wednesday evening, leaving one teenager dead and two others wounded as the quiet residential block suddenly filled with flashing lights and sirens.
Neighbors reported a heavy emergency response, with ambulances and multiple patrol units swarming the area. The block was cordoned off while investigators worked into the night, combing the street and sidewalks for evidence.
A community memorial page later shared an initial account of the shooting and identified one of the victims as 18-year-old EcAurion M. Wymes. The post stated that all three teenagers suffered gunshot wounds, that one was grazed, and another was struck multiple times in the knee. It noted that the investigation was ongoing and did not list any suspects or arrests, according to The Cleveland, Ohio Remembrance Page.
Where It Happened
The shooting took place on West 46th Street within the city’s 2nd District, the Cleveland Division of Police patrol area that covers much of the city’s west side. The official district map outlines the boundaries of District 2 and shows which officers and units typically handle calls and follow-up work in that part of the city, per the Cleveland Division of Police.
Investigation Underway
The community post indicated that the investigation remains active and again did not list any arrests or named suspects. It also included an appeal for witnesses who might have information about what happened on the block, according to The Cleveland, Ohio Remembrance Page. It was not immediately clear when authorities would release additional details.
Context
Shootings and other violent incidents in Cleveland are tracked in public-facing neighborhood dashboards that draw on reports from the Cleveland Division of Police. Local projects and university researchers use those records to map where incidents cluster and how they change over time. Case Western Reserve University’s Thrive Cleveland project maintains interactive crime maps and dashboards that offer neighborhood-level context for incidents like this one, according to Thrive Cleveland.
