Here are the top stories today in Cleveland:

  1. The latest batch of campaign finance records, released Thursday, show yet one more example of a Kevin Kelley-controlled political action committee donating almost exclusively to people who endorsed him in his mayoral bid. The Council Leadership Fund PAC -- which has traditionally been controlled by the council president and used to support City Council incumbents in their bids for re-election – donated in August $1,500 to Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Yvonne Conwell. Conwell endorsed Council President Kelley in the race earlier this summer. (cleveland.com)
  2. A Cuyahoga County grand jury on Friday declined to charge an East Cleveland police officer in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man after a car chase. Sgt. Larry McDonald, who has a checkered disciplinary history with the department, will not be charged in the Jan. 5 fatal shooting of Vincent Belmonte. McDonald turned off his body camera shortly before the shooting.(cleveland.com)
  3. Here are the best-haunted houses in Cleveland. (WJW FOX 8 News Cleveland)
  4. Jay-Z and Beyonce are scheduled to attend the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony. (cleveland.com)
  5. A report finds that Cleveland Police regularly point guns at people who aren't resisting. (Cleveland Scene)
