CLEVELAND — An out-of-town man was shot and then run over by an SUV on Sunday night, Cleveland Police announced. Despite being rushed to a local hospital, the man died from his injuries.

A little before 7 p.m. on Sunday, police got a call saying a person had been hit by a car. As officers headed toward Force Avenue, where the accident reportedly occurred, medical treatment for the victim arrived on the scene.

Redmon is from Johns Island, South Carolina, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner said on Monday morning.
