CLEVELAND, Ohio – Authorities have arrested two people linked to the slaying of an off-duty Cleveland police officer, who was shot during an apparent carjacking Friday night, according to four law enforcement sources.
Authorities have not released the name of the officer. Attempts to reach police and city officials Saturday morning were unsuccessful. The off-duty officer was shot twice as he attempted to fight off the attack, sources said. He was taken to Fairview Hospital, where he died. The officer was hired in 2019 and worked as a patrolman in the Fifth District, which makes up the northeast corner of the city.
The woman has been under investigation in past robberies.Wayne Drummond, the interim police chief as Mayor-Elect Justin Bibb takes office on Monday, told reporters late Friday that “my heart is aching for his family, for our officers. It’s senseless. It just doesn’t make sense.”The shooting came days after a 27-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint on Christmas near the place where the off-duty officer was shot and killed, according to city records.
Justin Bibb sent a social worker to tell that guy “just stop it.” Allegedly, he’s done now. City saved.
A society that refuses to protect itself from evil is doomed.
I get that those prior offenses probably occurred when he was a juvenile, but damn, how many times are you allowed to steal cars and walk free?

Mayor-Elect Justin Bibb BibbForCLE, I wish you the best of luck trying to reduce the carnage out there. We particularly fear the carjacking epidemic because the victims are usually random. I hope you have a plan. I didn't see one reported in the media, but perhaps I missed it. You have got 13 yr old kids jacking cars, career criminals that the courts that turn these things loose on citizens. When are gun crimes going to demand real jail time? I am talking 20 years for anyone regardless of age!
