CLEVELAND, Ohio – Authorities have arrested two people linked to the slaying of an off-duty Cleveland police officer, who was shot during an apparent carjacking Friday night, according to four law enforcement sources.
Authorities have not released the name of the officer. Attempts to reach police and city officials Saturday morning were unsuccessful. The off-duty officer was shot twice as he attempted to fight off the attack, sources said. He was taken to Fairview Hospital, where he died. The officer was hired in 2019 and worked as a patrolman in the Fifth District, which makes up the northeast corner of the city.
The woman has been under investigation in past robberies.Wayne Drummond, the interim police chief as Mayor-Elect Justin Bibb takes office on Monday, told reporters late Friday that “my heart is aching for his family, for our officers. It’s senseless. It just doesn’t make sense.”The shooting came days after a 27-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint on Christmas near the place where the off-duty officer was shot and killed, according to city records.
