Cleveland police have arrested a man in connection with a quadruple homicide in Slavic Village. They have not released his identity but, in a statement, said he was booked into the Cuyahoga County Jail on aggravated murder charges. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s office said David Cousin and his neighbor, Takeyra Collins, died of multiple gunshot wounds. Collins’ two children, ages 6 and 2, died of smoke inhalation from a fire that police believe had been deliberately set.
A woman who was punched in the face and pepper sprayed while being restrained by Cuyahoga County corrections officers last year has sued the county and two officers. Chantelle Glass said officers Idris-Farid Clark and Robert Marsh used unreasonable force against her and violated her First Amendment rights. The suit alleges the officers attacked Glass for repeatedly asking to make a phone call. The attack led to criminal charges against Clark and Marsh.
