James W. Philpott, 29, was killed by gunfire on September 20, 2025, in the 2200 block of East 100th Street on Cleveland’s East Side. Memorial listings, funeral notices and an obituary identify him as James William Philpott Jr., age 29; one obituary gives September 21, 2025 as the date of death, a one-day discrepancy that mirrors differences between time of injury and medical pronouncement.

Funeral arrangements were handled by Strowder’s Funeral Home on East 105th Street, and family and community members publicly organized to cover funeral costs and remember him. Police reports and local crime tallies from the same period list other homicides and arrests in the city, but no publicly reported arrest or suspect identification has been tied to Philpott’s killing.
