Kevin McQueen, a 42-year-old African American man from Cleveland, died of a gunshot wound on September 15, 2016. He was shot during a confrontation at a large apartment complex run by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority and was being transported to the hospital by a friend when the car was pulled over by police, delaying his arrival at the emergency room.

Kevin’s family and friends say the traffic stop and the time officers took contributed to his death. The investigation resulted in the arrest of Kyle V. Woods, who was charged with murder and multiple firearm offenses. At trial Woods argued self-defense; the jury acquitted him of murder, felonious assault, and voluntary manslaughter but convicted him of carrying a concealed weapon and possessing a defaced firearm, and he received a nine-year sentence.

The case prompted questions about police conduct during the stop and how delays affected a gunshot victim’s chances. If anyone knew Kevin, witnessed the confrontation, or has information about the traffic stop that night, please share what is known.
