CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A man was shot in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood, picked up by a private car, and driven to a popular area in Tremont Sunday afternoon.

According to Cleveland Police, a 29-year-old was shot in the area of West 81st Street and Wakefield Avenue.

Police say he was taken by a private vehicle to the 2300 block of West 11th Street in the Tremont neighborhood.

Someone then called Cleveland Police.

Rob Broka lives and works just a few doors down.

“I’ve lived here since 2016 and I mean it’s a city so obviously things happen, but I mean something this close, there’s never been anything violent, at least in this neighborhood,” said Broka.

EMS took the victim to the hospital.
