Meshach Omari Cornwall, a 27-year-old African American man, was found dead in his Garfield Heights, Ohio, home on December 17, 2018. Police were called after a report of an unconscious male; Cornwall had multiple gunshot wounds and had been reported missing earlier that day by his mother, who lived with him. His gold 2009 Honda Accord was stolen from the residence and later recovered by police. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office participated in the investigation.

Investigators say 24-year-old Shakira Graham met Cornwall through a dating website and spent the night at his home on December 15, 2018. Two days later she returned, shot him multiple times, and removed items from the house; she was arrested on February 14, 2019, and charged with murder and related counts. Court filings in State v. Graham list convictions on multiple counts, including aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, and a life sentence with parole eligibility after 31 years was imposed in March 2020.

Did anyone who knew Meshach or saw him in Garfield Heights around mid-December 2018 notice anything unusual or have information to share?
