Zahir Montez Garrett, 25, of Cleveland, was shot and killed on January 5, 2022, in an apartment in Bedford Heights. Garrett was shot in the back of the head during an incident at his ex-girlfriend Eytae France’s apartment; the bullet also lodged in France, causing serious injuries. Garrett was taken to Hillcrest Hospital, where he later died.

Police say the suspect, 33-year-old Bernard Walter Lewis Lonnie Sparks, allegedly forced entry into the apartment in the middle of the night, woke France, and shot Garrett before fleeing. Sparks was sought by law enforcement after the shooting. Garrett’s family and friends have publicly expressed grief and called for justice.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember activity at that apartment on January 5, 2022, or anyone with information about that night?
