A Cleveland man is dead after a shooting in Bedford Friday night, according to Bedford Police.
The brazen crime happened around 5:50 p.m., police responded to the area of Northfield Road near Rockside Road for a report of shots fired, police said. Upon arrival, officers located 31-year-old Clarence Houston seated in the driver's seat of a black Ford Explorer.
“It was still light when it happened. There were a lot of cars at the intersection. The victim was actually stopped in traffic at the light going southbound where the shots came into his vehicle. We had a person walking on the sidewalk that saw everything and another person riding by on a bike,” said Deputy Chief Rick Suts, Bedford Police Department.
