Gunshots rang out at East 123rd Street and St. Clair Avenue on Tuesday, drawing a heavy police and EMS response after a man was shot multiple times, according to social-media accounts from the scene. Emergency crews loaded the victim into an ambulance and rushed him to a nearby hospital, though his condition was not specified in the original post. Detectives remained on the corner into the evening, combing the area for evidence as the investigation stayed active.
What We Know So Far
A short video and caption posted by the Cleveland, Ohio Remembrance Page identify the location as East 123rd and St. Clair and show officers, medics and investigators working the scene, according to the Cleveland, Ohio Remembrance Page. The post notes that the man was taken to the hospital and that the investigation is ongoing, but it does not name the victim, share a condition update, or mention any arrests.
The account is based solely on a social-media post and had not been independently confirmed by police at the time of that posting, so key details may still change as official information comes out.
Police Response And Investigation
Officers with the Cleveland Division of Police responded after multiple reports of gunfire and stayed on scene while detectives documented and collected evidence. The City of Cleveland advises residents to call 9-1-1 for emergencies and to use the police non-emergency line at 216-621-1234 to share information.
The city also notes that ShotSpotter gunshot-detection technology has been expanded across all five neighborhood police districts to help speed officers to scenes like this one. As of the latest information, authorities had not publicly released any suspect description, and detectives were asking anyone with video, photos, or tips to contact investigators.
