In the afternoon of March 29, 2026, a dispute in Cleveland, Ohio, tragically escalated, leaving 18-year-old Andrew Freeman, a male resident of Cleveland Heights, dead from a gunshot wound. The events unfolded around 4:16 p.m., when the Cleveland Division of Police received a call reporting shots fired near the 6900 block of Fullerton Avenue.
Upon their arrival, officers from the Fourth District began to investigate the area.
They discovered a potential crime scene near the 7000 block of Gertrude Avenue, where several shell casings were found. It is believed that a verbal altercation may have occurred shortly before the shooting. While the police were securing the scene, they were notified that a young man with a gunshot wound had been taken to University Hospitals in a private vehicle. That individual was later identified as Andrew Freeman, and he was pronounced dead by the hospital staff.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office later confirmed the identity of the victim. The Cleveland police are investigating the death as a homicide.
