Tuesday is the third straight day with a pair of shootings making headlines in Cleveland.
Following a fight at a Woodland Avenue apartment complex today, two people were shot around noon. They were transported to MetroHealth Medical Center, where authorities are determining their conditions. No arrests were made as of the late afternoon.
On Monday, a double homicide was revealed after a postal worker discovered the body of Earl Norman, 54, at Lausche Avenue and Norwood Road (just south of St. Clair). The body of Monica Curry, 39, was later found in a nearby apartment building.
And on Sunday, two men were fatally shot in separate cases. Michael McClendon, 27, was shot on West 43rd Street during a drive-by. Mario Carter, 35, was shot on South Moreland Boulevard.

It doesn’t mean he deserved to be murdered, but you’d think Scene would mention that Michael McClendon was a career violent criminal, as it only takes a couple minutes to look that up in the dockets of Cuyahoga County Court of Common Please and Cleveland Municipal Court. He proably shouldn’t have been on the streets at all, and he also had warrants on him. Another drug dealing robber who lived by the sword and died by the sword. Scene should have mentioned this because people can get the wrong impression and think these are random shootings.
AHHHHHHHH Cleveland, the mistake on the lake !
random shootings or planned shootings, it’s pretty telling that someone can get gunned down in our city and no arrests are mentioned. six bodies found in three days, and how many arrests? c’mon, cleveland, you’re better than that. someone has to have seen something.
It’s a sad thing tht no one can say anything in these situations Mario carter is my brother who did not deserve to die, and if the shoe was turned I would say anything I know to get justice served.
