Clarence Houston, a 31-year-old man from Cleveland, Ohio, was found dead in Bedford on March 7, 2025, after an apparent shooting. Officers arrived about 5:50 p.m. near Northfield Road and Rockside Road and discovered Houston unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a black Ford Explorer; he was later pronounced dead at Metro Hospital.

The shooting happened while Houston was stopped at a traffic light and occurred in view of multiple witnesses. A pedestrian on the sidewalk and a cyclist passing by reportedly saw the incident. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation processed the vehicle for evidence, and Bedford police say they are following up on leads but have not publicly identified any arrests or suspects.

Does anyone who was near Northfield and Rockside Road that evening or who saw a black Ford Explorer stopped at the light have information that could help investigators?
