Dion Pratt, 28, was killed on May 25, 2016, in Cleveland, Ohio. He was sitting on the front porch of his home on Somerset Avenue near East 105th Street with a friend when three people came out of an abandoned house across the street and opened fire. Pratt died of his injuries; his friend survived.

The investigation led to the arrest of Da’Montais D. Banks Jr., identified as a member of the Heartless Felons gang. Banks was charged with aggravated murder in Pratt’s death and the attempted murder of Anthony Mitchell, who was present during the shooting. Reports say Banks was acquitted of most charges, including the murder of Dion Pratt. Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County is offering a cash reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of those responsible.

The case underscores the difficulty of prosecuting gang-related shootings and the importance of community cooperation. If anyone has information about the attack or individuals involved, please contact Crime Stoppers or the local investigators handling this case.
