WARREN TOWNSHIP – Jesse Hayes, 15, of Wellington Street in Parma is the shooting victim who died Monday after being shot in the face by a relative, Warren Township police said today.
The boy’s name had not been released until now, pending notification of his family.
The Cuyahoga Count Coroner’s investigation is pending after the boy died in Cleveland MetroHealth Hospital, where he had been transported by medical helicopter following Saturday’s shooting.
No charges have been filed, and police say the investigation is continuing.
The incident occurred at 205 Ruth Ave., Warren Township, according to Warren Township police Chief Don Bishop.
Bishop said the boy’s 28-year-old cousin, previously identified as his uncle, had pulled the trigger when showing his new 12-gauge shotgun Saturday evening.
