VIDEO: 12 teens beat man, fire guns at Cleveland gas station, Cuyahoga County prosecutor says
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – 12 juveniles, between the ages of 13 and 17, are behind bars for allegedly viciously attacking an innocent man at a gas station on the city’s East side earlier this week.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley said several of the suspects also fired their weapons in the parking lot of the gas station and down St. Clair Avenue. An RTA bus was driving down the street during the shooting, said O’Malley.
This happened at the Shell Gas Station at East 140th Street and St. Clair Avenue around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The suspects, nine boys and three girls, arrived at the gas station in three stolen vehicles. All the vehicles were stolen on July 24.
O’Malley said the victim was doing nothing but “sitting next to a gas station minding his own business” when the suspects started kicking and beating him. O’Malley added the suspects did not know the victim.
The 34-year-old victim received medical care, but is OK, said O’Malley. “He is lucky to be alive,” added O’Malley.
Cleveland police arrested the juveniles within two hours of the crime after a resident called 911 to report screams coming from a home n a nearby neighborhood.
The juveniles were found hiding throughout the basement of the house and two had loaded firearms on them, said police.
O’Malley said several of the suspects are also involved in other violent crimes in Cleveland’s neighborhoods; including, one boy who is accused in an unrelated homicide.
“This brutal attack and use of guns is just one horrific recent example of the rising violence we have seen this summer,” said Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb. “As I’ve previously stated, we are using the full weight of the law to hold criminals accountable and put them on notice that these actions will not be tolerated. I thank our police officers for their dedication and hope that this, combined with the announcement of my RISE initiative last week, will help restore peace to our city.”
Cleveland City Councilman Michael Polensek called the suspects “urban terrorists.”
“We are not going to live like this. I don’t care who we have to bring in, we have to bring the worst off the streets. Where the hell are the parents? When is the last time a parent was held accountable? The juvenile system is broken in this county,” said Polensek.
“We are sick and tired. We are no longer going to allow these individuals to wreak havoc on our neighborhoods,” said Cleveland City Councilman Anthony Hairston.

Arby’s employees ‘confused’ after store closes without warning
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Workers are put up against the clock as their jobs hang in the balance.
Daundre Frazier told 19 News his work family was torn apart when the Arby’s on Chester Avenue and East 22nd Street in Cleveland was shut down without warning.
“It was Monday morning when we all found out, “ said Frazier. “It’s like we’re scheduled to work we got bills and stuff to pay and it was just a whole bunch of commotion.”
Frazier says when he came into work last Monday his other coworkers were cleaning out the store–saying they didn’t find out about the move until they came in for their shift.
Cashayliana Jones says she was supposed to be starting this week.
“I was really confused like did anyone know about this or did it come out of the blue,” said Jones.
Frazier says even though they didn’t hear about the closure until the 10th they received this letter that was written on the 6th about the closure.
Stating if they stayed and helped clean up the store they could transfer to other Arby’s locations.
But Frazier says that wont work for a lot of his team.
“Everybody who works here lives within 10 minutes, “ said Frazier. “Ubering, Lyfting, and catching the bus are gonna cost more money than they bring in for working.”
Putting people in a bind right before the holidays.
“They didn’t let us know because they didn’t think we would come in and do the cleaning duties they needed us to do, but they never gave us that option,” said Frazier.
“We could have been looking for another job,” said Frazier. That would have been the courtesy for them.”
Our team reached out to Arby’s with these concerns twice, but hasn’t heard back.
“Everybody who works here is like a family, we all treat each other like brothers and sisters,“ said Frazier. “When that happened we were all just like shocked.”
