On November 22, 2014, Lemon Bryant, a 60-year-old Black man from Cleveland, was one of five people killed in a mass shooting in the city’s Hough neighborhood. The other victims named in reports were Sherita Johnson, 41; her unborn baby; her son Jario Taylor, 18; and Shaylona Williams, 17. A 9-year-old girl, Janiyah Johnson, survived with a graze wound.

Authorities later arrested James Sparks-Henderson and charged him with multiple counts including aggravated murder and attempted murder. Investigators linked Sparks-Henderson to the scene through DNA and a loaded 9mm handgun that matched evidence recovered at the crime. Court coverage recorded intense emotion from family members during sentencing, when some confronted the defendant in open court.

Anyone who knew Lemon Bryant, his routines in Hough, or who has information about that night is asked to come forward with what they remember.
