Donnell King was a 12-year-old boy from Cleveland who was shot and killed on June 1, 2020, at a home on East 94th Street in Cleveland. Investigators concluded he was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of a dispute between other individuals.

The matter was handled in part by federal authorities; the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Cleveland became involved and a complaint was filed in the Ohio Northern District Court that listed Donnell King, although that complaint was terminated on October 9, 2020. Local and federal investigators continued to develop evidence and identify potential suspects after the termination.

The death has had a lasting impact on family and community members. If anyone has information about the shooting or the individuals involved, please come forward to assist ongoing efforts to resolve the case.
