(News Story) CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in Cleveland are investigating the shooting death of a man at his own birthday party.
Officers were called to a residence at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday and found a 25-year-old man shot in the chest, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide investigators, called to the scene along with the Cuyahoga County medical examiner’s office, said the victim was there for a party celebrating his own 25th birthday.
Investigators said preliminary information indicates that a 22-year-old relative was handling a handgun “and reportedly shot the victim believing it was unloaded.”
