CLEVELAND — Cleveland Police confirmed they are investigating two homicides Friday night on opposite ends of the city after two men were shot in the head and killed.
Shortly before 7 p.m., a 30-year-old man died after multiple gunshot wounds to the head at Lakeshore Boulevard and Villa Beach Drive, near Euclid Beach Park, Cleveland Police spokesperson Jennifer Ciaccia said. A 16-year-old boy sustained a gunshot wound to the hip.
News 5 crews at the scene saw more than 50 evidence markers for gunshots and a black Mazda with multiple shots through the front windshield. A section of East 156th Street was blocked off to traffic.
Also on Friday night in the 12400 block of Union Avenue in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood on Cleveland’s south end, a 24-year-old man was shot in the head and chest and died at the scene, Ciaccia said.
