Parma police Lt. Dan Ciryak said he wished he had the answers as to why the city saw six homicides this past year or even any kind of gun violence.
“Additionally, many people are not working like they were prior to the pandemic, so they may be suffering an economic strain as well as a lack of socialization in general,” he said. “With the proliferation of guns on the streets, it is actually no real surprise that more are being brandished or actually fired during crimes,” Westlake police Capt. Gerald Vogel said. “We believe that proactively attempting to get guns out of the hands of those who should not have them or those who do not carry them legally is an extremely important step to help curtail firearm violence in the area.
Euclid police Chief Scott Meyer said there are many factors that play into violent crime and violent gun crime in the city. The city saw five homicides last year. “We seek to build relationships and partnerships with our community in order to gain a shared trust, understanding, respect and support,” Meyers said.Dan Flannery, a professor and director of the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research at Case Western Reserve University, blamed the increased suburban homicide on the excessive number of guns already on the street and easy accessibility to them.

Likelihood goes up the closer the suburb is to CLE.
