Te’Vion Cunningham

Te’Vion Rondale Cunningham was a 17-year-old student and athlete who was part of Glenville High School's back-to-back state football championships. The Black male also played basketball for the Tarblooders and was a student at Ginn Academy. His family described him as an "excellent young man" with an "incredible sense of humor and an infectious smile" who attended New Beginnings Driving School and had an internship at Lincoln Electric.

Around 6:30 p.m. on January 5, 2024, a resident on Seabrooke Avenue in Euclid, Ohio, called 911 after hearing a loud noise and seeing someone collapse between houses. Police arrived at the scene near Seabrooke Avenue and East 222nd Street and found Te’Vion with multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. According to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor, Te'Vion was attempting to purchase a firearm at the time he was shot.

Euclid police detectives made the case a top priority. In January 2024, they arrested 22-year-old Meon’te Robinson in connection with the shooting. On February 23, 2024, U.S. Marshals apprehended a second suspect, Deshawn Wright, at a home in Cleveland. Wright was charged with aggravated murder, two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and having weapons under disability.

On February 12, 2025, Meonte Robinson, then 23, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, and having weapons while under disability. At his sentencing hearing on February 18, Robinson asked to withdraw his guilty plea, but the judge denied his request. He was sentenced to consecutive prison terms totaling 31 to 35.5 years. Under the terms of his sentence, he will not be eligible for release for at least 31 years. The latest development in the case was Robinson's sentencing in February 2025.
