Shot Fired on Beechwood Avenue

A South Euclid man was arrested for firing a gun on Beechwood Avenue.*

Police say Devin O’Neal, 18, was involved in an argument March 10 at around 4 p.m. with teen boys and fired the gun, though there was no report of anyone being struck.

O’Neal fled home after he shot the gun.

The boys report that a verbal altercation started at the Shell gas station at S. Taylor and Blanche. One of the boys involved later went to Beechwood Avenue to find the other teens, bringing along O’Neal and his gun.

Police went to his home, where O’Neal’s father let them search. They saw a jacket in the home that matched the description of the shooter and asked O’Neal’s father to call him.

O’Neal answered the call and told police that he was hiding behind the home’s garage. They charged him with aggravated menacing and placed him in jail.
