CLEVELAND (WJW) – New video and a 911 call released to the FOX 8 I-Team reveals more about what happened in a deadly downtown shooting.
A security camera outside the Cleveland Public Library captured the shooting from a distance. The first 911 call came from an off-duty cop who tried to help.
Look closely at the video and you’ll see action around a bus stop on the edge of Public Square. Then, at least one man runs off. It happened after midnight last week.
Th gunman shot a man multiple times. Police say the suspect ran off and carjacked someone downtown. The victim did not die until days later.
A 911 call shows an off-duty police officer was first on the scene.
“OK, how many shots did you hear?” a dispatcher said.
“About five,” the officer said. “There’s a man down. I’m going to check on him. I’m an off-duty police officer.”
Moments later, you can also hear the officer talking to the victim, saying, “hang on, buddy. Hang on.”
The 911 call also reveals that, at first, police could not find the scene. Buses on Public Square blocked the view. On the security video, you see more than one patrol car passing by the scene with lights flashing.
A report shows, after the carjacking, the suspect drove to the west side, dumped the car and disappeared.
