Landon Rogers, a 24-year-old Cleveland Heights native, tragically died on July 26, 2022, in Shaker Heights, Ohio. He was fatally shot by his roommate, Kriston Price, who allegedly shot Rogers six times before calling 911 to confess to the crime. Rogers was transported to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
Kriston Price, also 24 years old, was arrested at the scene and charged with murder. He was held at the Solon Detention Facility awaiting arraignment. A grand jury later indicted Price on charges of aggravated murder, murder, and felonious assault. Price had no prior criminal convictions, although a felony theft charge from Bedford was dismissed in 2017.
The investigation revealed that the shooting occurred around 10:15 p.m. in their apartment on Van Aken Boulevard. Price's confession and the evidence collected at the scene led to his charges. The case drew significant attention due to the nature of the crime and the relationship between the victim and the suspect.
The loss of Landon Rogers deeply affected his family and friends, who remembered him as a special and unique individual. The community mourned his death, and his loved ones continue to seek justice for his untimely passing.
