Alissha Brown, a 36-year-old White/Caucasian woman, was found fatally shot on the morning of September 20, 2025, at a house on the 3600 block of East 59th Street in Cleveland’s Slavic Village. Police had already responded to the same address around 2:00 a.m. for a ShotSpotter alert, where a 42-year-old man was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead.
Nearly eight hours later, at about 9:40 a.m., a second ShotSpotter alert brought officers back to the scene, where Brown was located and pronounced dead by EMS. News reports identified her by name and age and noted that the two shootings occurred hours apart at the same location. An obituary published by a local funeral home listed her date of death as September 20, 2025, in Cleveland.
In the days that followed, investigators announced arrests in the case. On September 23, Cleveland police said two suspects—Andrew Dillon, 33, and Richard Koballa, 45—were taken into custody in connection with the double homicide. According to police, Koballa was apprehended by Shaker Heights officers after a shelter-in-place advisory near Kemper Road, while Cleveland officers had previously arrested Dillon. Local outlets reported that both men were charged with aggravated murder.
Community coverage in the immediate aftermath described the neighborhood’s fear and uncertainty before the arrests were made, with residents reacting to the unusual circumstance of two killings on the same street within hours. Subsequent reporting and the police press release confirmed the timeline of both shootings and the involvement of ShotSpotter alerts. Memorial listings for Brown further recorded her as “lost to gun violence” on that date in Cleveland.
