3 Juvenile Homicide Suspects Arrested

DOJ Press

Cleveland, OH – Members of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive
Task Force (NOVFTF) arrested three juvenile homicide suspects at a home
on Cleveland’s west side, earlier this afternoon.
Investigators with the NOVFTF gathered
information that a homicide suspect wanted in connection with a February
25 murder was at a home in the 9800 block of Gambier St. in Cleveland.
The suspect, who is 12 years old, was believed to be involved in the
murder of Devon Orr, 19, who was shot and killed outside of an apartment
in the 2600 block of Washington Ave. in Cleveland. The same 12-year-old
suspect was also on bond for attempted murder but had removed his ankle
monitor. Members of the task force entered the home and not only
encountered the 12-year-old suspect, but also a 17-year-old suspect also
wanted in connection to the Washington Ave. murder. Both were found
hiding in the basement of the home. Additionally, a firearm was located
in the basement of the home as well.
After officers made further entry into the home,
they encountered another 17-year-old male hiding on the third floor of
the home and they found that he was a wanted suspect in a murder that
occurred on February 11 in the 7800 block of Dudley Ave. in Cleveland.
The victim, Bryan Conley, 21, was found in a vehicle with multiple
gunshot wounds
Since all three juveniles hid in various parts of
the home, members of the task force worked with the Cleveland SWAT team
to complete a full search of the home and to ensure that no one was left
hiding.
U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “It is
astonishing that a 12-year-old is the suspect into a murder
investigation, especially one with such callous and blatant disregard
for human life. Our team will continue to work closely with the
Cleveland Division of Police to arrest anyone else wanted in connection
to these crimes and anyone who commits violence in our cities.” Anyone with information concerning any wanted fugitive can contact the
