Tylen Gill, 18, a Black male from Cleveland, was found fatally shot inside an apartment at the Lakeview Terrace complex on the city’s West Side on Sunday, October 5, 2025, around 4 p.m. Responding officers to the 2700 block of Division Avenue discovered Gill inside the unit and pronounced him dead at the scene, while another 18-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds was located in the hallway and rushed to a hospital.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified Gill, and local coverage placed the shooting near The Flats in Ohio City.
Detectives began a homicide investigation, processing the apartment and surrounding corridors for evidence and canvassing for witnesses. Early reports did not indicate a recovered weapon or a clear motive, and authorities did not immediately release the condition or identity of the wounded survivor. Community and memorial pages marked Gill’s death as a gun homicide in Cleveland on October 5.
As of the first wave of news reports on October 6, police had not announced any arrests or named suspects, and they asked the public for information while the case remained active. Subsequent summaries echo that no arrests had been reported and that the investigation was ongoing.
