Leah McLaurin, 27, was fatally shot on September 10, 2017, during an argument outside the Marathon gas station at E. 140 and St. Clair in Cleveland. The shooting happened in the early morning; two other people were wounded by the gunfire. Cleveland police opened an investigation and on September 11, 2017, a 38-year-old man was arrested in connection with the shooting.

This was reportedly the second shooting at that location within two months, prompting calls from friends, family and community leaders for better security and accountability at local gas stations. Councilmen Jeff Johnson and Michael Polensek urged stricter enforcement of the city nuisance law, saying the gas station owner had not done enough to address repeated problems. Leah’s godmother, Marcia Lane, has been publicly pushing for safer conditions at gas stations.
