• 3-year-old dies after shooting inside Ohio home (whio.com) — A 3-year-old boy was fatally shot inside a home on Sylvanhurst Road in Cleveland Heights on Aug. 11, later dying at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital. A 19-year-old East Cleveland man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, and Cleveland Heights police say the case is now headed to a Cuyahoga County grand jury.
   

• Northeast Ohio Flock camera data: Who can search it? (cleveland.com) — If your license plate is captured by Flock cameras in Cleveland Heights, local rules limit how long that data is kept and forbid its use for civil immigration enforcement. The story compares Cleveland Heights' 30-day retention and sharing limits with stricter Shaker Heights policies and Cleveland's access controls, and explains a possible statewide law that could shorten data retention to 10 days.
