The shooting remains a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. No details have been released about the victim’s identity, his exact location on the street, or whether the two men seen fleeing have been identified. The Cleveland Division of Police lists its Third District headquarters at 4501 Chester Avenue.
A Corridor With a Painful Recent History
This is not the first time gunfire has erupted on this stretch of East 46th Street. Just four months ago, on May 9, a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed near the basketball courts outside the Lonnie Burten Recreation Center on the 2500 block, a case Hoodline covered in a report shortly after the shooting. That rec center has also been mentioned in reports about shootings in the area.
The pattern stretches back years. A 2021 shooting was also reported outside the same recreation center. The Lonnie Burten center also serves as a community recreation facility.
