A Cleveland man wanted in a Denison Avenue bar shooting is still on the run months later, and investigators say he is also tied to an aggravated robbery that went down earlier this year. Authorities warn the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous and have pushed out his photo and description in a fresh plea for tips. Crime Stoppers has put cash on the table for information that leads to his arrest.
According to Cleveland 19, Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County has identified the suspect as Anthony Schade, described as about 5 feet 4 inches tall and roughly 120 pounds. Schade is wanted in connection with a shooting at a Denison Avenue bar in November 2025 and, while on the run, is also accused of an aggravated robbery in March 2026, authorities say. The charges listed in local reporting include aggravated robbery, two counts of felonious assault with firearm specifications, abduction with a firearm specification, having weapons while under disability, tampering with evidence with a firearm specification, and carrying concealed weapons.
Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County states that tipsters can remain anonymous, calls are not recorded, and tips that lead to an arrest and conviction may qualify for a reward of up to $5,000. The group lists its tipline as 216-252-7463 and also accepts tips through its website and mobile app for anyone who recognizes Schade or believes they have useful information, according to Crime Stoppers.
What law enforcement is doing
Federal and local fugitive units have been ramping up efforts to track violent suspects across the Cleveland area, with the U.S. Marshals’ Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force often out front in those operations. Recent multi-agency roundups in northeast Ohio, including coordinated arrest sweeps handled by marshals and county partners, show how these teams tackle long-running violent crime cases, according to an overnight fugitive dragnet report and the U.S. Marshals Service. Officials stress that public tips are crucial and urge anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers rather than try to approach a suspect themselves.
Legal stakes
The charges Schade faces carry heavy potential penalties, especially because of the firearm specifications that can be stacked on top of the underlying felonies. Under Ohio law, those specs can trigger mandatory prison time, including one-year and three-year enhancements, and certain firearm terms must be served consecutively. All of this remains at the allegation stage, and Schade has not been arrested or found guilty of any of the charges, according to Cleveland 19.
