Joseph W. Eason, 19, of Cleveland, died March 24, 2015 after being shot during a burglary at a private residence. Eason was one of two men who broke into the home of Brian Bridges, a licensed concealed-carry permit holder. When Bridges returned and confronted the intruders, he shot and killed Eason.

The other intruder, Anthony Akins-Daniels, escaped the scene but was later arrested and charged; he pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter in October 2015 and received a three-year sentence with a gun specification. The shooting was ruled self-defense and justifiable.

Bridges later sued the Cleveland Police Department, alleging officers unlawfully seized and retained his personal property, including firearms and ammunition, after the investigation and without legal justification.

If anyone knew Joseph Eason or saw activity around that address on March 24, 2015, share what is known.
