Shievon Seats, 43, was killed on January 16, 2023, in a domestic violence incident at a residence in the 3200 block of E. Overlook Road in Cleveland Heights. Police say Joshua Ward, 39, of Euclid called 911 and told dispatchers he had shot his ex-girlfriend in the head and that she was dead on the kitchen floor. Officers who responded found Seats deceased at the scene and took Ward into custody after he surrendered.

Reports indicate Ward and Seats had been in a relationship at some point, though the nature of their relationship at the time of the shooting was not specified. One week after the killing, authorities indicted Ward on aggravated murder, two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and having weapons under disability, with several counts carrying firearm specifications.
