Theodore J. Wright Jr., 58, a 32-year veteran of the Cleveland Fire Department, was shot and killed while off duty on May 1, 2014. He was driving his pickup truck when he was struck in the left arm and torso; the truck then left the road and hit a pole. The death was first investigated as a traffic accident, but later inquiries led authorities to suspect foul play and treat it as a shooting.

Investigators reported Wright had cocaine in his system at the time of death. In April 2015, 20-year-old Slater Howell III was indicted on aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, tampering with evidence, and a weapons charge in connection with Wright’s death; Howell was accused of shooting Wright during an attempted robbery. Howell had not been arrested as of the last update. Wright is survived by his wife Nancy and three children, Michael, Jennifer, and Nicole.
