Thomas Charles McDonald, 33, was fatally shot on August 2, 2021, in downtown Cleveland near Carnegie Avenue. The shooting happened around 5:15 p.m.; officers found McDonald in an alley behind a business on Carnegie Avenue and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

McDonald owned a business called Blog Spot on Carnegie Avenue. Witnesses say a confrontation inside the establishment between McDonald and a woman turned violent when the woman produced a firearm and began shooting. McDonald ran out the back door into the alley but was pursued and shot multiple times; the woman then fled. Detectives have been reviewing surveillance footage from the business and nearby areas as the investigation continues.

McDonald is survived by three children and his fiancée, who was his business partner at Blog Spot. Does anyone have information about the incident, the business, or the woman seen in or around Blog Spot that could help investigators?
