On April 7, 2023, 19-year-old Cleveland resident Kanye Williams was shot and killed. The death prompted a police investigation and, according to later announcements, led to the arrest of two teenage girls, ages 15 and 17. U.S. Marshals announced both apprehensions on August 23, 2023; the 15-year-old was taken into custody at a residence on Golden Avenue and the 17-year-old was arrested on East 22nd Street.

Authorities have not released a motive or detailed circumstances surrounding the shooting. Family and friends held funeral services for Kanye after his death, and the community continues to grapple with the loss and questions about youth violence. If anyone has information about Kanye, the incident on April 7, 2023, or the locations where the suspects were arrested, please come forward.
