Gerrell Miles, 36, was fatally shot on July 26, 2022, while selling merchandise on the sidewalk outside the Save-A-Lot near W. 30th Street and Clark Avenue in Cleveland. Police say he was approached by 23-year-old Tykis Banks; an argument ensued and Banks shot Miles.

A Cuyahoga County grand jury indicted Banks on multiple counts including aggravated murder, murder, aggravated robbery, felonious assault, having weapons under disability, discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises, and improper discharging of a firearm at or into habitation or school. Banks was taken into custody on September 9, 2022, and held on $1 million bond; a court appearance was scheduled for October 25, 2022.

Miles’s family says he had been trying to secure work at the Save-A-Lot and was due to start a new job there days before he was killed. The community continues to grieve this loss. Did anyone in the area see what happened that afternoon or know more about Gerrell’s activities that day?
