Saniyah Nicholson

CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio -Community members, led by local community activists groups, will rally at 5:30 pm on Friday, June 22, 2018 in response to the shooting death Wednesday of nine-year-old Saniyah Nicholson, who died of a gun shot wound to the head after being shot while sitting in her mother's car at the scene of a shootout on Cleveland's largely Black east side on Lee Road near Cloverside Avenue in Ward 1. 

Organizers said they will assemble in the parking lot outside of Walgreen's at the Lee-Harvard Shopping Center at 4061 Lee Road in Cleveland.

The vigil and rally will be held across the street, which is where Saniyah was killed

Family members of the slain girl, including her parents, are expected to attend, and also speak at the gathering, organizers said. 
Three of the four suspects are in custody, two teens and one adult, and another, also a teen, remains at large. All of them are Black. 
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner confirmed the identity of the girl, who was Black and a resident of Maple Heights, a Cleveland suburb.
Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman, who leads the Cleveland-based Imperial Women Coalition, called for "swift attention by city of Cleveland and law enforcement officials as to the matter and for violence against women, girls, and children to cease."
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, flanked by Police Chief Calvin Williams, was livid.  

"To those who have perpetrated this crime and [caused] other deaths of innocents, we will not tolerate this and will arrest you and prosecute you," said Jackson at a press conference on Thursday.

Witnesses purportedly told Cleveland Ward 1 Councilman Joe Jones and police that the girl was seated in her mother's Chrysler when the gunfire erupted and a stray bullet hit her in the head. She died later at University Hospital's Rainbow and Babies Children's Hospital.
According to police reports, the girl's mother, Marshawnette Daniels, parked to pick up her teenage son at  DNA Level Boxing Club on Lee Road and the girl, in the car with an adult sister, was killed when her mother went inside to get him.
Councilman Jones allegedly told police that witnesses said the shootout was between a group outside of the gym and a group in a car, both groups allegedly exchanging gun fire that resulted in the tragic incident. 

He told  ClevelandUrbanNews.Com and KathyWrayColemanOnlineNewsBlog.Com that he would be at Friday's rally.
The murder rate in Cleveland is 37 per 100,000, research reveals, and Cleveland, notorious for the murders of 11 Black women on Imperial Avenue by serial killer Anthony Sowell, is ranked by Forbes as the fifth most deadliest city in the nation relative to its murder rate. 
The largely Black major metropolitan city of Cleveland had 128 homicide deaths in 2017, authorities said, and they are mounting for this year. It has tallied some 61 unsolved murders of women dating back to 2004, data show.

Ohio Supreme Court strips chief Cuyahoga County judge of power: 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 and Administrative 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
