Homicide In Cleveland: 24-Year-Old Shot To Death At Bar

CLEVELAND, OH — Nicholas Russell 24, was found shot outside Mandy's Lounge on Pearl Road, in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood, on March 3. Police said he had a gunshot wound to his chest when they arrived. Russell was rushed by EMS to MetroHealth. He died in the hospital on March 11.

It appears a fight broke out inside the bar and Russell and other customers were escorted outside. The 24-year-old was shot shortly thereafter. Police found him laying on the ground outside Mandy's.

Since Russell has died from his injuries, members of the homicide unit and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office will now take over the investigation. The original investigation was handled by the second district detective bureau.

Police did not say whether or not there are currently suspects in the investigation.
