Sachin Rana, 34, was shot dead on October 5, 2014, inside Hometown Grocery on Woodland Avenue in Cleveland. According to police reports, the shooting happened just after midnight when an armed suspect entered the store, opened fire and fled in a vehicle. Rana, a grocery store employee, was struck three times after walking the suspect to the door and died at the scene.

Cleveland homicide detectives identified a suspect and an arrest warrant was issued, but the suspect had not been formally charged as of the latest available updates and remained at large; the case was later described as a cold case for a period of time. The matter drew renewed legal attention in 2018 when the Ohio Court of Appeals heard State v. Glaze, a case related to the investigation.

Anyone with information about what happened at Hometown Grocery that night or about the suspect’s identity is asked to come forward.
