Cleveland Police are leading the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of a man by a Cleveland Metropolitan Housing Authority police officer.
Police said they were called to the Village of Riverside Park for a loud music complaint.
“As he’s getting out the vehicle, he opens the door and all of a sudden the male that was flagging him down starts running towards him and literally starts punching him, starts attacking him,” said Gonzalez.“It did not have the effect that we were hoping for; the male continued to fight with the officer,” Gonzalez said.
The officer rendered first aid to Roquemore, the chief said. He was taken to the hospital where he later died.
