Roderick Reyshon Redwine, a 40-year-old African American man from Cleveland, Ohio, was fatally shot during a robbery on September 25, 2015. The shooting occurred in Cleveland and was tied to a broader crime spree attributed to 28-year-old Ronald Yates.

Ronald Yates was arrested and charged with aggravated murder in connection with Redwine’s death. Yates later pleaded guilty to the aggravated murder of Roderick Redwine and to related charges, including aggravated robbery, under a plea agreement that recommended a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 42 years. Redwine’s family and community were deeply affected by his death.

Does anyone have memories of Roderick or information about the events that led up to that day that could add context to the record?
