Deon Stallings, 37, was one of two men killed during predawn gunfire outside the Sunoco at 7025 Fleet Avenue in Cleveland’s Slavic Village. Police arrived about 1:15 a.m. on October 18, 2025, after ShotSpotter alerts; officers found four men shot, two fatally. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified the dead as Deon Lindsey Stallings (born August 21, 1988) and 46-year-old Bruce Charles Singleton. Two other men, ages 31 and 34, were taken to MetroHealth in critical condition.

Detectives say the violence began with an argument outside the gas station that escalated to multiple people firing. Investigators marked the parking lot with up to 43 evidence markers, recovered at least two firearms, and documented a car shredded by bullets. The investigation is active; police are reviewing video, canvassing witnesses, and asking anyone who was near East 71st and Fleet to come forward.

Funeral arrangements were posted at Cummings & Davis Funeral Home as family prepared memorial services. Does anyone who was in the area before or after 1:15 a.m. on October 18 have information or video that could help investigators?
