CLEVELAND — Cleveland police are investigating an overnight shooting that sent a man and a woman to the hospital with injuries and caused Cleveland Clinic Fairview's Emergency Room to go under lockdown.
Evidence markers littered the parking lot of Powell Village inside of the Riverside Park CMHA Complex. Our News 5 camera captured upwards of 15 shell casings on the West 174th Street property.
Cleveland police say that at approximately 2:15 a.m., officers responded to a report of two males shooting in the 4500 block of West 174th Street. When police arrived, the victims were already gone.
Minutes later, a shot-up black Mercedes Benz showed up outside of Cleveland Clinic Fairview's Emergency Department. The back windshield was shot out. A bullet hole was visible through the front windshield.
Dispatch and Cleveland police say that two people were driven to the hospital in private cars.
Cleveland police say they detained a third person from the vehicle dropping off the victims. He was trying to flee on foot, and police learned he had an outstanding warrant for aggravated robbery.
Police taped off the scene outside of the hospital as they processed the car for evidence and closed off the entrance to the Emergency Department.
Cleveland Clinic Fairview's Emergency Department confirmed they were under lockdown just before 5 a.m. The lockdown was lifted around 5:30 a.m.
The two victims were an 18-year-old male and a 20-year-old female. Police say their current condition is "unknown" at this time. The 21-year-old man police arrested was taken to county jail to await charges.
