Jarvis Perryman, 20, was shot and killed after midnight on July 3, 2025, during a late-night walk with friends at Euclid Beach Park on Cleveland’s lakefront. Around 12:35–12:40 a.m., an encounter near the park’s concession area escalated when a man pulled a handgun from a backpack and opened fire. Perryman was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead; a 17-year-old companion was also wounded and survived.

Investigators from Cleveland Metroparks Police, Cleveland police, and EMS treated a broad scene from the pier entrance toward nearby apartments. Detectives used surveillance footage, witness statements, and physical evidence in their work, and authorities publicly appealed for tips and offered a reward. Two weeks after the shooting, 25-year-old Christopher W. Manning was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder; he was held on a $1 million bond and later indicted on aggravated murder, two counts of murder, attempted murder, and four counts of felonious assault.

Public notices identify the victim as Jarvis Jerome Rome Perryman Jr., born April 23, 2005, and remembered by family and friends at mid-July services. If anyone was at Euclid Beach Park that night or has information about what happened, please share what is known.
