David Cousins Jr., 35, of Cleveland was found dead on July 9, 2019, in a vacant lot on East 63rd Street with multiple gunshot wounds. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide. Investigators determined he was not the intended target but an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

On the same day, three other people were found dead inside a nearby house: Takeyra Collins, 25, and two children, Armond Johnson Jr., 6, and Aubree Stone, 2; Collins and the boy died of gunshot wounds and the girl of smoke inhalation. Police identified multiple persons of interest and pursued a lengthy investigation before any arrests were announced.

Cousins was remembered by family as a hardworking man who had turned his life around and cared about his family and friends. Does anyone have information about Cousins’ last known movements or who might have witnessed the shooting on East 63rd Street?
