On September 30, 2024, 18-year-old Tamer Almadi of Cleveland was shot and killed inside the Elite clothing store on Euclid Avenue during what authorities described as a robbery. Eyewitnesses said Almadi was held at gunpoint before being fatally shot; some have characterized the shooting as an execution.

The Cleveland Division of Police opened a major investigation that led to the indictment of two brothers, Marvin Flemings Jr., 26, and Marquell Flemings, 23. Prosecutors allege one brother restrained Almadi while the other entered the store to carry out the robbery; both face charges including aggravated murder, kidnapping, and felonious assault.

The case has attracted intense media and community attention because of the violence and Almadi’s age. Does anyone have information about Almadi, the store, or that night that could help clarify what happened?
