De’Ante Kidd, age 34, a male from Cleveland, was shot and killed in the early hours of June 16, 2025. Shortly after 1 a.m., officers were called to the 10000 block of Parkgate Avenue near East 105th Street, where they found De’Ante Kidd, age 34, male, on the porch of a home with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial dispatches mistakenly listed his age as 23 before authorities confirmed he was 34.
The shooting unfolded on Cleveland’s East Side in the Glenville area, drawing a heavy police response and closing nearby streets as investigators arrived.
In the immediate aftermath, reports suggested the shooter might have barricaded inside a nearby residence. The Cleveland Division of Police SWAT Unit surrounded and cleared the address, but no suspect was found. The homicide unit took over the case as detectives canvassed the neighborhood and pieced together a timeline from overnight gunfire reports and witness accounts.
Within weeks, investigators identified a suspect: Devin Roberts, 42. A warrant was issued for murder, and the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force began searching beyond the city, believing he had fled the area. On July 7, 2025, members of the U.S. Marshals–led Mountain State Fugitive Task Force located Roberts during a traffic stop in Brilliant, Ohio, just across the river from Wheeling, West Virginia. He was taken into custody without incident and held for extradition to face charges in Cleveland; authorities also noted he was wanted in Cuyahoga County for probation violations.
The arrest closed a tense chapter that began with the predawn killing of De’Ante Kidd, age 34, male, on a quiet residential block and continued through a fruitless SWAT sweep the same morning. With Roberts in custody, federal and local officials credited the coordinated manhunt and the tips that steered them to the Ohio River valley, marking a pivotal development in the case tied to the death of De’Ante Kidd, age 34, male, from Cleveland.
