On August 26, 2008, 19-year-old Andre Kenneth Bowers was fatally shot at about 4:44 a.m. at a duplex on Edgewater Avenue in Cleveland. Bowers was sitting on the front porch of the downstairs apartment when several gunshots were fired. He went inside to seek safety, but two more shots rang out; a resident closed the door after the second round and found Bowers deceased in her living room.

The case remains unsolved with no arrests or suspects identified. The Cleveland Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office continue to list the homicide among open cases. Bowers was the son of Angela Callahan and the brother of Immanuel Callahan, Gabriel, Kenneth II, and Angelique Williams; his funeral was held September 5, 2008, at H. M. Martin Funeral Home. The duplex where the shooting occurred has since been demolished.

Anyone with information about the shooting at 13213/15 Edgewater Avenue in the early hours of August 26, 2008, is urged to contact the authorities.
