Saif Aldeen Adnan Afaneh, 27, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head on March 30, 2022, in a Cleveland parking lot on Riverbed Street near Detroit Avenue. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head.

According to the state’s account, on the night of March 29, 2022, Afaneh drove Raymere Finley to the area and the two shared what appeared to be a cigarette or a marijuana blunt. Shortly afterward, Finley shot Afaneh. A grand jury returned an indictment against Finley on August 31, 2022, that included aggravated murder. Finley later pleaded guilty to multiple offenses across several cases and was convicted and sentenced at a single hearing.

Anyone who knew Afaneh or who has information about that night is asked to come forward.
