West side Cleveland mom shot in her face during carjacking and lives to tell 19 News about it


CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – On Friday, just two days into the new year, 38-year-old Cleveland mom, Tiffany Muscatell, reveals what happened that led to her being shot in her face by a stranger.

Woman shot on Cleveland’s West Side during carjacking

She spoke exclusively with 19 News senior reporter Harry Boomer late Friday afternoon.

The shooting happened around 7:30 a.m. in the 7900 block of Madison Avenue, Cleveland police said.

Advertisement

“What Happened? I was taking my son to my mom’s house, and a guy held me at gunpoint. Told me to get on the ground. I got on the ground. I didn’t have any money. He got into the car, told me to get my son out. It took too long. He threw me out the back and the gun went off. Then he took my son out and threw him on the ground.”

Muscatell was rushed to Metro Health Medical Center by EMS with a gunshot wound to her face.

She has more than a dozen stitches and is home to begin the healing process.

Several of her neighbors expressed outrage about what happened to her and her young son.

Here’s Howard Fetterman, who lives in the same Detroit Shoreway community as she does.

“Really, a baby with her. That’s ridiculous and insane. I think it’s disgusting for somebody to shoot a lady with a baby. They ought to catch the son-of-a-gun.”

Police found Muscatell’s car a short time after the carjacking near her home. The shooter is still on the loose.

Postcards from the Ledge: Happy New Year from Cleveland, Ohio!

Postcards from the Ledge: Happy New Year from Cleveland, Ohio!


We’re closing out another year as a species here, and it’s one last chance to send a thought to someone before we start the new calendar. Today’s cards all come from around 1910 (give or take a year or two) and, as with our recent Christmas card offerings, we did hold back a few that were definitely from the New-Year’s-time of their year, but maybe not quite as jolly in the sentiment. We do have a lot of embossed cards, which are personal faves, here in the archives.


Happy New Year (ca 1910)Postmark: DEC 31 1910 9:30AM
Card Front: A very wintery-looking bell tower where the numbers on the clock have been replaced with “Happy New Year” and (potentially) a Freemason’s symbol in the center. A holly branch is over the top of the picture, and the border is gold and lightly embossed.

Card Back:
Written Text:

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Marie

Free clinic appreciation month

Free clinic appreciation month


CLEVELAND — There are more than half a million people in Ohio who do not have health insurance.


What You Need To Know

  • Ohio has 59 free and charitable clinics and pharmacies that provide essential care for the uninsured
  • CHN supports clinics in 86 of the state’s 88 counties 
  • In 2024, Salaam Clinic saw around 700 patients; this year, that number doubled to nearly 1400 patients seen

Ohio has 59 free and charitable clinics and pharmacies that provide essential care for the uninsured. They’re supported by the Charitable Healthcare Network, and this month, CHN is celebrating the care they provide to patients in 86 of the state’s 88 counties.

Salaam Clinic is one of several clinics in Cleveland. They see hundreds of patients a year. Shafeeq Sabir is one of those patients.

“The opportunity is there for me to see a doctor, a physician, without having to worry about a cost factor,” said Sabir.

Sabir has insurance but said he has a copay, and he’s on a fixed income. Salaam Clinic takes in uninsured, underinsured and those who cannot afford care.

“Sometimes I can’t afford the copay, so I would prefer to come here for an exam before I go and see my primary physician,” said Sabir.

Salaam Clinic is part of the Charitable Healthcare Network. The network is celebrating Free Clinic Appreciation Month this December.

The network is Ohio’s statewide system that supports free and charitable clinics. Jason Koma is CHN’s Executive Director. He said the network’s 59 clinics provide high-quality health care to those who need it.

“We are the backbone of the safety net of health care in the state of Ohio,” said Koma.

More than 60,000 patients were seen at one of the network’s facilities from Jan. to Sept. 2025. In 2024, the clinics saw nearly 80,000 patients.

The network’s clinics offer a wide range of services including primary care, specialty, dental, vision, behavioral health, social services, pharmacy, education, prescriptions, tests and insurance enrollment. In 2024, CHN’s clinics provided $224 million worth of services to patients all over the state. The network is supported by funds from the Ohio Department of Health and the state budget.

The Ohio Department of Health said this in a statement.

“Free clinics are an integral part of the healthcare system in Ohio, which is why the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) financially supports healthcare services to patients who lack the funds or insurance coverage to pay for vital health services.

ODH support comes through the Uninsured Care Fund, a general revenue fund line item used to support free and charitable clinics providing medical and dental care at free or reduced costs to uninsured and underinsured Ohioans. These funds pay for primary healthcare services to any uninsured person who gets healthcare services at a free clinic in Ohio.”

Every fiscal year, CHN gets $1.75 million to support the individual clinics around the state.

Salaam Clinic receives funding from several sources, including CHN. Dr. Syed Shoaib Shah is the CEO of the Salaam Clinic.

“Year over year it takes about $230,000 to run the clinic,” said Shah. “We have a part time nurse practitioner on staff as well as an administrative assistant and then includes all the supplies, all that lets us run all the mobile clinics, all the pop-up clinics that we do around the city.”

However, the clinic doesn’t always get the full amount, and the clinic is looking at other options, including private donations.

“Without the Charitable Healthcare Network in our clinics, these folks would have nowhere else to go,” said Koma. “Probably ending up in the emergency room and getting sicker and sicker and sicker.”

According to UnitedHealthcare, the average emergency room visit costs $1700, but the cost depends on the services and care provided. Shah said clinics can be the first stop to getting healthy.

“We make sure every patient leaves with a roadmap and they know where they’re going, what they’re doing, and they have the referrals and check,” said Shah.

Shah said clinics like his are saving lives. He said that even though they are seeing more patients and expect to see even more patients; he wants the community to know the clinic is here for them.

“Hospitals are closing their outpatient centers because they can’t afford the care that they’re giving to the uninsured population,” said Shah.

In 2024, Salaam Clinic saw around 700 patients. This year, the number doubled to nearly 1400 patients seen. With rising healthcare costs, Shah said the number will continue to rise, but they are happy to serve the community.

“We expect to see more patients that are underinsured and uninsured, but they cannot afford care,” said Shah.

Sabir said he’s grateful for Salaam Clinic and he tells everyone he knows about the clinic.

“An opportunity of this service and that really has just gives me a better feeling consciously in my thinking and in my health, and I just feel much, much better about my life,” said Sabir.

To become a patient of Salaam Clinic, first call them at (216) 243-7924. From there, the staff will recommend next steps and provide resources. If you would like to visit the clinic, appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.

Saleem Clinic in Midtown, at 7401 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44103, is open on Sundays from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. Their Solon location at Chagrin Valley Islamic Center at 6909 Liberty Rd. is open every last Friday of the month, 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. They also do pop-up and mobile clinics.

Salaam Clinic has a multilingual staff who speak French, Arabic, Swahili, South Asian languages, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi.

Salaam Clinic, along with the other clinics in the network, are nonprofit clinics with paid and volunteer employees.

The clinics accept monetary donations, and for every dollar donated to the Charitable Healthcare Network, it provides $13 worth of healthcare.
