Deontay Austin was 26 when he was shot multiple times on July 22, 2012, on the 500 block of East 118th Street in Cleveland. The shooting happened at about 5:00 AM; witnesses reported that Deontay appeared to know the shooter and heard him identify the person as someone called Tez or Tink. He was taken to a hospital with severe injuries and died on July 30, 2012.

The Cleveland Police Department has classified the death as a homicide and the case remains unsolved. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation lists the case among unsolved homicides to raise public awareness. Authorities have appealed for information and asked anyone with relevant details to contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office or submit a tip through the available channels.

Did anyone in the neighborhood know someone called Tez or Tink, or have information about Deontay’s movements that morning?
