Murdock L. Drake, a 28-year-old African American man from Cleveland, Ohio, was fatally shot on July 31, 2015. The shooting took place at East 145th Street and Kinsman Road on the city’s east side. Authorities identified 33-year-old Richard Lee Theodore Stevenson as the suspect and described him as armed and dangerous while searching for him.

Drake was the father of two children, Murdock Levelle Drake Jr. and Kimora Carolyn Drake, and is survived by siblings and extended family. Records note prior criminal involvement by Drake, including guilty pleas to aggravated robbery, failure to comply with police orders, and burglary; he had been sentenced for those offenses before his death.
