A man and his friend were involved in a shootout after he arranged to meet with a man selling a Honda Civic on Facebook Marketplace, according to Cleveland Police.
On April 20, the victim and his friend arrived at a parking lot at the intersection of Olivet and Hampden Avenues and waited for the owner of the Civic to arrive, according to the police report. The victim told police that upon the seller's arrival, the situation became suspicious when the seller parked on the opposite side of the parking lot and a silver Jeep pulled up and parked on Olivet Avenue shortly after the Civic arrived.
The victim stated that he grabbed his firearm from his holster as the three men from the Jeep opened fire. The victim and his friend returned fire as the occupants of the Jeep ran back to their vehicle.According to police, the victim and his friend cooperated with the officers when they arrived at the scene. Police retrieved the firearms used by the victim and friend, a black 380 Ruger and a black 9mm Taurus G2C.
While en route to the shootout scene, officers were dispatched to the area of Superior Avenue and Ansel Road for the silver Jeep seen in that area by a Shot Spotter. Upon arriving, officers found a male shot and lying on the ground south of the Jeep. Officers later found out the injured was a suspect in the shootout incident. He was arrested and is being treated at University Hospital for his injuries, according to police.
