On the early morning of April 26, 2016, 22-year-old Ernest Levert was shot while driving his grandmother’s black Kia near Ansel Road and Crumb Avenue on Cleveland’s east side. Witnesses reported multiple gunshots around 2:30 a.m., followed by a crash in which the car struck a utility pole; the pole collapsed onto a nearby home. Officers found Ernest slumped inside the vehicle with gunshot wounds, and he was taken to a hospital where he died of his injuries.

Ernest was described by family as a protective older brother to five younger sisters and a college track scholarship athlete. His mother, April Levert, and grandfather, Richard Levert Sr., expressed deep grief and the family launched a GoFundMe for funeral expenses. No arrests or suspects have been identified in connection with the shooting.

Does anyone who was in that area that morning or who knew Ernest have information that might help bring answers?
