Devonte Brown, 29, was shot and killed just after 1 a.m. on April 15, 2023, outside the Dollar General on Turney Road in Garfield Heights. Brown had been unloading groceries when two people attempted to steal his vehicle; he was shot once in the chest and died despite emergency medical aid. His family described him as generous and the father of two young children, and a memorial has been placed outside the store.

Law enforcement identified 27-year-old Christian West as a suspect and arrested him on June 29, 2023, after investigators said West and an accomplice were involved in the shooting and the subsequent theft of Brown’s car, which was later found abandoned nearby. The investigation remains ongoing and authorities are seeking information about any other people who may have been involved.
