Breanna Nicole Fluitt was 17 when she was found shot to death on August 20, 2016, in East Cleveland. Her body was discovered near abandoned buildings after having been shot multiple times in the back; reports say she was shot twice outside a stolen SUV and then three more times as she lay on the ground.

Investigators tied her death to a bank robbery that occurred days earlier. Breanna had participated in that robbery with her boyfriend, Kiechaun Newell, and surveillance photos from the robbery reportedly led Newell and an accomplice, Jeffrey Doss Jr., to fear she might talk to police. Authorities say Newell shot Breanna after making out with her in the back of the stolen SUV. East Cleveland police later arrested 19-year-old Jesean Woods on a warrant charging aggravated murder; he was taken into custody after a brief standoff at a relative’s home and his family’s concern was noted about him being out on bond previously.

Newell was convicted of aggravated murder in November 2017. Breanna’s family held vigils and publicly demanded justice while seeking answers about her killing. If anyone knew Breanna, where she spent time, or has information about the robbery or the shooting, contact investigators.
