James Henry Holland III, 52, a truck driver, was shot in a Garfield Heights parking lot the night of Friday, July 23, 2021. Police were called about shots fired at about 10:53 p.m. at 5020 Turney Road and found Holland with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Marymount Hospital and then life-flighted to MetroHealth Hospital in Cleveland, where he was pronounced dead the next evening, July 24, 2021, at 6:45 p.m.

The shooter fled before officers arrived. Investigators identified Holland’s 24-year-old nephew, Nyles Alexander Flowers of Chagrin Falls, and issued a statewide alert for Flowers and a 2005 Honda Accord. The Ohio State Highway Patrol spotted the car on Interstate 77 shortly after the alert; a felony traffic stop near Caldwell in Noble County led to Flowers’ arrest at about 2:51 a.m. A search of the vehicle did not recover a weapon. Flowers was taken to the Garfield Heights City Jail and initially charged with felonious assault, with additional charges pending as the case moved into the legal system.

Did anyone see Holland that night or have information about where he had been before the shooting?
