Bruce Charles Singleton, 46, male, died in Cleveland on October 18, 2025, after gunfire erupted at the Sunoco station on the 7000 block of Fleet Avenue in the Slavic Village neighborhood. Police were alerted around 1:15 a.m. by multiple ShotSpotter activations and arrived to find a chaotic scene that would later be classified as a mass shooting. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified Singleton among the deceased, confirming his death that morning.
Responding officers found four men shot. Singleton and 37-year-old Deon Stallings were pronounced dead at the scene, while two other victims—a 31-year-old man and a 34-year-old man—were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. Reporters on site counted roughly 43 evidence markers, many next to shell casings, and noted a vehicle riddled with bullet damage, underscoring how quickly the confrontation escalated into sustained gunfire.
Detectives said early indications pointed to an altercation between several individuals just before shots were fired. Investigators recovered two firearms and began reviewing evidence to piece together the sequence of events that led to the killing. Authorities described the investigation as active and ongoing and asked anyone with information to contact the Cleveland Division of Police Homicide Unit.
As of the latest public updates in the days following the shooting, police had not announced any arrests or publicly identified suspects in Singleton's killing. Local coverage and memorial listings continued to mark his death while the inquiry proceeded.
