On September 2, 2019, 14-year-old Shon Glass was tragically shot and killed at an abandoned apartment in Cleveland's Mount Pleasant neighborhood. The incident occurred on Labor Day, and Shon was found with gunshot wounds to the chest and leg. He was immediately taken to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Cleveland police launched an investigation into the shooting and arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with Shon's death.
The preliminary information revealed that Shon and the 15-year-old were seen together in the abandoned apartment when shots were heard. Shortly after, an unknown male was seen running from the side of the apartment complex. The investigation led the homicide unit to arrest the 15-year-old, who has not been publicly named due to his status as a minor.
The case remains under investigation, and the authorities continue to gather evidence to determine the full circumstances surrounding Shon's death. The community mourns the loss of Shon, a young boy whose life was cut short by this senseless act of violence.
