Ashante James Dortch, 27, was shot to death on September 21, 2021, inside an apartment complex on North Moreland Boulevard in the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood of Cleveland. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner confirmed his identity and listed cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

Cleveland police say Dortch went to the suspect’s home and an argument broke out; the suspect then shot Dortch multiple times and fled. The suspect was arrested shortly afterward and the investigation is ongoing as authorities gather evidence and prepare charges.

Anyone with information about what happened that night or who knew Dortch’s movements in the Buckeye-Shaker area is asked to contact the Cleveland Division of Police.
