Lexus M. Kimbro, a 19-year-old African American female from Cleveland, OH, tragically lost her life on September 5, 2015. She was shot and killed while sitting in a car at a traffic light at the intersection of East 76th Street and Harvard Avenue. Lexus and her boyfriend had just purchased a fan and were on their way home when the shooting occurred. Her boyfriend was not injured, but Lexus was hit in her torso and arm.
Despite efforts to get her to a hospital, she succumbed to her injuries at MetroHealth Medical Center.
The Cleveland Division of Police Homicide Unit launched an investigation into Lexus's death. Detectives have been working tirelessly to find answers, but as of now, no arrests have been made. The case remains unsolved, and the family continues to seek justice. The Cleveland Homicide Detective Arthur Echols emphasized that no one should be harmed while simply leaving a store and heading home. The investigation is ongoing, and Crimestoppers of Cuyahoga County has joined the effort, offering cash rewards for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator.
Lexus's mother, Kenyada Perry, has been vocal about her grief and the need for closure. She described Lexus as kind and caring, and her best friend. The loss has been devastating for the family, and they are holding onto hope that one day they will find the person responsible for Lexus's death.
