Martell Thompson was 18 when he was shot and killed on October 27, 2017, on Cleveland’s east side. He was traveling in a stolen car around 6 p.m. near East 93rd Street and St. Clair Avenue when someone fired into the vehicle. After being shot in the head he crashed into an abandoned building and was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other teenagers, ages 15 and 17, were in the car; the 15-year-old was treated at a nearby hospital and released, and the 17-year-old was taken to University Hospital Cleveland Medical Center with facial injuries. Shell casings were recovered and investigators believe a group of males fired the shots, but no suspects have been named and no arrests have been announced.

Martell was the son of Anita Deal Pope and Jermaine Singleton Sr. and a brother in a family of 14 siblings. If anyone saw the shooting, the stolen car before the incident, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
