CLEVELAND (WJW) — The FOX 8 I-Team has learned police were called overnight for a shooting in the Flats not far from where six people were shot just weeks ago.
Cleveland EMS said a 19-year-old man is dead and a 24-year-old man is in critical condition at a hospital.
According to multiple sources, the shooting happened in the 1000 block of West 11th Street and two people were shot.
The shooting follows a busy night in downtown Cleveland, with crowds going to a Cleveland Guardians game, a concert and more.
Officers were patrolling on foot just after 2:30 a.m. Sunday, as bars were closing and crowds were leaving, according to a news release.
Officers heard shots in the 1000 block of West 11th Street and “rushed to the area,” where they found a 19-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound.
Officers rendered aid, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS, according to the release.

The incident remains under investigation.
