Leonard Brown, 30, a Black man, was found shot to death alongside 29-year-old Briauna Green in Cleveland’s Slavic Village neighborhood in the early hours of July 5, 2025. Police responded to the 6900 block of Fullerton Avenue after a ShotSpotter alert around 3 a.m.; both victims were pronounced dead at the scene and were later identified by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner.

The double homicide on Fullerton Avenue was among the overnight incidents police mentioned at a subsequent briefing.
