EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio - Police in Cleveland are asking for the public's help to find fifth suspect in the killing a 14-year-old girl on in East Cleveland.
Detectives obtained an aggravated murder warrant for 20-year-old Jeffrey McWhorter Jr. in connection with the shooting death of Lataevia Williams on July 28.
The shooting happened after a fight outside a home on East 125th Street, located just south of Superior Avenue. Police said multiple people fired shots into the crowd and one bullet hit Williams in the neck.
