EUCLID, Ohio — The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner said two people have died after a shooting in Euclid on Tuesday.
The double homicide happened just after 7 p.m. among a gathering of people at the parking lot of an apartment complex on Euclid Avenue near East 221st Street.
According to police, siblings Mariana Grier, 21, and Antwon Grier, 20, were shot when "gunfire erupted within the crowd."
They were transported with gunshot wounds to University Hospitals, where they later died.
Surveillance video from Green Ridge Apartments shows a group of four women gathered in a back parking lot just before the shooting.
In the video, one of the women looked ready to fight, even punching her own hand at one point.
Minutes later, a blue SUV pulled into view. An apartment manager said the driver was Mariana.
She said Mariana and her sister, who also lives in the building, were returning from a trip to buy groceries.
As the SUV turned around, the video showed a man, identified by the apartment manager as Antwon, confronting the women who were gathered.
The apartment manager said Antwon's mother and brother came to the apartments to meet the sisters.
In the video, the women gathered in the parking lot scattered as the SUV pulled into another part of the parking lot.
The video then showed Mariana and her sister getting out of the SUV and running. Mariana then suddenly collapses.
Antwon and his mother are then seen running across the parking lot where he's shot.
The apartment manager, Melonie, who did not want her last name used, fearing retaliation, believes Mariana knew trouble would be waiting when she returned home.
"I believe she came knowing that she was probably going to fistfight, said Melonie. ''But saw how quickly that wasn't going to be the case."
She called the shooting nonsense and said she heard the women were fighting about a "coat and a guy."
In a news release, Euclid police said they "developed strong leads" in the case.
According to a Garfield Heights police document, its officers helped detain an 18-year-old woman who was allegedly involved in the shootings. She was taken into custody in Garfield Heights and handed over to the Euclid police.
