In the early hours of Tuesday morning, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office announced the tragic passing of Juan Rampon Ruiz Lopez. The Cleveland resident succumbed to his injuries at MetroHealth Medical Center on Monday, following a violent incident that shook the local community.
The roots of this tragic event trace back to the early hours of Friday, March 22. Responding to an emergency call, law enforcement officers rushed to the vicinity of Superior Avenue and East Roadway at approximately 1 a.m. Upon their arrival, they discovered Ruiz Lopez, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, a grim testament to the violence he had encountered.
The investigation revealed a chilling sequence of events following the shooting. Authorities believe that the assailant, after attacking Ruiz Lopez, engaged in a separate criminal act. In a bold and brazen move, the suspect is reported to have committed an aggravated robbery of a vehicle. A 31-year-old man fell victim to this crime, with the perpetrator commandeering his vehicle at gunpoint before making a swift escape from the scene.
As the Cleveland Division of Police delves deeper into this case, the quest for justice continues. The investigation remains active, with detectives piecing together the events that led to this tragic outcome. The authorities urge anyone with information to come forward and contact the Third District Detective Bureau at 216-623-5318.
