Rakim Grant was 24 when he was shot to death on August 10, 2017, in Cleveland’s Kinsman neighborhood. The shooting occurred in the basement of 3301 East 137, the home of Shawn Reese. Grant had gone to Reese’s house to give him a tattoo, and the two were in the basement when the fatal shooting happened.

Shawn Reese was arrested and charged with murder, felony murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence. At trial Reese waived a jury and faced a bench trial; the court found him guilty after hearing testimony from eight witnesses and admitting 76 exhibits. Testimony at trial included Cleveland police officers, the lead detective, a trace evidence specialist, and the forensic pathologist who performed Grant’s autopsy. Reese’s mother, Nefertiti Reese, and her daughter, Taniah Hardwick, were in the house at the time of the shooting; Hardwick was on crutches following recent knee surgery.

Did anyone in the Kinsman neighborhood see or hear anything on the evening of August 10 that could shed more light on what happened?
