Johnshae Boyd, a 22-year-old African American male from Cleveland Heights, OH, was tragically shot and killed on September 16, 2019. He was visiting a friend at her apartment on East Boulevard when he was shot multiple times by two men wearing all black clothing. Despite efforts by police and paramedics, Johnshae was pronounced dead at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.
A 27-year-old man who was also shot during the incident survived and was treated at the same hospital.
The investigation into Johnshae's death has been ongoing, with Cleveland police making one arrest in connection to the case. However, the suspect arrested was linked to a different case, and no further updates have been provided regarding additional suspects. Johnshae's mother, Kenneta Boyd Bey, has been actively seeking justice for her son, believing that he was killed in a robbery. She has offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.
Despite the passage of time, the case remains unsolved, and Kenneta continues to advocate for her son, hoping that someone will come forward with information. The Cleveland Police Department has stated that homicide cases are never closed and continue to be investigated. The community and Johnshae's family remain hopeful that justice will be served, and his memory will be honored.
