CLEVELAND, Ohio- The family and friends of slain 27-year-old Daniel Ficker, who left behind two young children and a fiance, will host a fundraiser for his children and a memorial to remember him as the second anniversary of his July 4, 2011 death by Cleveland police that occurred outside of his home in Parma, Oh. nears.

Parma is a middle-class suburb of Cuyahoga County that is some 15 miles south of Cleveland. 

The event will be held on Sunday, June 30, 2013 at Coe Lake behind Berea Commons from 1:00 pm-5:00 pm in Berea, Ohio, a suburb some 20 miles south of Cleveland. 

Tickets for the fundraiser for Ficker's two small children are $10 and the Breakfast Club Band will perform. Children get in free, organizers told Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's most read online Black newspaper.  

For more information contact Ficker's mother, Bernadette Rolen, by phone at 1-440-773-6103 or by email at bern316@cox.net  For donations in general go to www.danficker143.com .

Rolen said that the memorial is just that, a memorial fundraiser to raise money for Ficker's children and to remember her son, one of two children, she said. She said that the event is not a rally and that her grandchildren by Daniel Ficker are what friends and other family members said that they are hosting the event for. 

"The memorial is to remember Dan and to raise money for his two children," said Rolen.

Ficker died on the July 4th holiday 2 years ago following an attack by police after two Cleveland policeman waited outside of his Parma home on what they said later to authorities was a personal matter.

No criminal charges were pending, no warrant for his arrest existed, and no official report on any altercation or alleged crime to Cleveland police had been made, an investigation by Cleveland Urban News.Com reveals.

The City of Cleveland's Office of Professional Standards found wrongdoing by police more than a year ago, but city officials have yet to act on the recommendation for discipline. 

Meanwhile, Ficker's family, including his fiance, his parents and his two children, continue to grieve the  loss of a loved one.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
