"The investigators within the Cleveland Police Homicide Unit remained committed to securing an arrest in this tragic case," Cleveland Division of Police Chief Calvin Williams said in a statement. "We appreciate our partnership with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office and are confident that their efforts will bring justice for the families affected by this terrible incident." Notice the Chief said "incident" not homicide or murder.
Tevin M. Biles-Thomas, 24, was taken into custody at Fort Stewart in Georgia on Thursday over the New Year's Eve shooting at an Airbnb rental in Cleveland. He was arrested after the local sheriff's office obtained a warrant to take a DNA cheek swab from Biles-Thomas following a request from authorities in Cleveland. The results were then presented to a grand jury before an indictment was returned for him, WSAV3 reports. He is charged with six counts of murder - three for directly causing another person’s death and three for causing someone’s death during the commission of a separate felony - three of voluntary manslaughter, five of felonious assault and a single count of perjury. Biles-Thomas, who holds the rank of specialist, is a cannon crew member assigned to 3rd Infantry Division. He joined the Army in 2014 and was deployed to Korea in 2018 as part of a rotational deployment. Prosecutors say Biles-Thomas was part of an 'uninvited group' that attended a New Year's Eve house party above a pizza shop in Cleveland's Brooklyn Centre neighborhood. A fight then broke out with guests and Biles-Thomas is accused of opening fire. Authorities declined to elaborate on whether other gunmen were involved. Biles-Thomas is the only person charged so far. Biles and her brother were among several siblings raised by different relatives after their biological mother, who struggled with substance abuse, relinquished custody when they were young children. The gymnast was eventually adopted along with her younger sister by their maternal grandfather. Her brother went to high school in Cleveland. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-08-31 |
