Andrew Langford, a 23-year-old male from Cleveland, OH, tragically lost his life on May 31, 2020. Andrew was excited to sell his 2008 Suzuki motorcycle to fund a journey to California. He met with two men on Vandalia Avenue near Fulton around 1 p.m. During the transaction, an altercation occurred, and Andrew was fatally shot in multiple parts of his body. He was pronounced deceased at Metro Health Hospital.
Following Andrew's death, two 19-year-old males were taken into custody.
The incident sparked a significant outcry from the community, leading to a GoFundMe campaign titled "Justice for Andrew J. Langford" organized by his sister, Chelsea Langford. The campaign aimed to raise funds for legal fees and to support the family in their pursuit of justice.
The case drew attention to issues of gun violence and the need for better mental health support, as Andrew had been diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2016. His family and friends continue to seek justice for Andrew, hoping to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
Andrew's death left a profound impact on his family and the community. He was remembered as a caring, big-hearted individual with a passion for music and sports. His loss is deeply felt by his father, Albert O. Langford, his siblings Kristen, Albert C. , and Chelsea , as well as his nieces and nephew.
