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.

Cleveland, OH – Snow showers are expected to return to Northeast Ohio Thursday morning, bringing slick conditions to area roadways. Drivers along I-90 and other major routes should prepare for reduced visibility and icy spots as temperatures linger near freezing.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow will fall intermittently through the morning hours before giving way to cloudy skies. Highs will reach just 34°F with light winds from the northwest, making for a cold and damp day. Residents are advised to allow extra travel time during the morning commute and to exercise caution while driving.
By Thursday night, temperatures will drop to 31°F with an increased chance of snow showers after midnight. Accumulations are expected to be minimal, with less than half an inch likely in most areas. However, conditions will worsen heading into Friday.
Snow showers will intensify Friday morning, potentially mixing with rain before transitioning to all snow by the afternoon. Highs will peak near 37°F, but a sharp drop in temperatures late in the day could create dangerous refreezing on untreated roads.
Looking ahead, Cleveland can expect colder weather this weekend, with highs around 30°F on Saturday and just 27°F on Sunday. Snow showers will taper off by Saturday evening, but Sunday’s biting wind chills will make for a frigid close to the week.
