DeVon Orr, a 19-year-old man from Cleveland, Ohio, was fatally shot on the afternoon of February 25, 2022. He and his girlfriend were visiting a residence in the Ohio City neighborhood when, about 3:30 p.m. in the 2600 block of Washington Avenue, witnesses say three men came to the home to smoke marijuana. DeVon went into a stairway with the group and a single gunshot was heard. He was found unresponsive on the stairs with a gunshot wound to the chest and later died at MetroHealth Medical Center.

Investigators traced the case to a house on the 9800 block of Gambier Avenue. In March 2022 members of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force and Cleveland SWAT entered the residence and located two juveniles wanted in connection with the murder — a 12-year-old and a 17-year-old — and a third juvenile wanted in a separate homicide. Authorities reported the 12-year-old suspect had been on bond for an attempted murder charge and had removed his ankle monitor.

A getaway driver later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 22 years in prison for involvement in DeVon’s shooting. Does anyone have information about DeVon, the men who came to that home, or the events on Washington Avenue that afternoon?
