Tymeir Dial-Hale, 23, was fatally shot on October 3, 2023 on East 127th Street in Cleveland. Police found him on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper back and head; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Rodeny Curlee as the primary suspect. Police say a verbal dispute between Curlee and Dial-Hale escalated, and Curlee allegedly produced a firearm and shot his brother multiple times. A warrant for Curlee’s arrest was issued the next day, and he was found hiding in a Cleveland basement on Reyburn Road and taken into custody by the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force on October 5, 2023 after initially not responding to commands to surrender.

The death raises questions about gun violence and family-related confrontations in the community. If anyone knows more about what led to the October 3 altercation or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
