CLEVELAND, Ohio – An 11-year-old boy was shot and killed Saturday night at a birthday party at an apartment on the city’s East Side, Cleveland police say.

Tyshaun Taylor was pronounced dead at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Tyshaun was shot about 9:30 p.m. at an apartment on the 1800 block of East 97th Street in the city’s Hough neighborhood, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said.

The shooting location is just northwest of University Circle and blocks away from the Cleveland Clinic’s main campus, off of Chester Avenue.

Tyshaun Taylor, 11, was attending a birthday party Saturday night inside this apartment building on East 97th Street on Cleveland's East Side when he was shot. He was taken to University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's, where he died, Cleveland police say.

The scene was quiet mid-morning Sunday, with no remnants of police presence at the apartment building.

Tyshaun was shot inside an apartment, and two other children at the party carried him to the corner at Chester Avenue to try and flag down help, Ciaccia said. He was then taken to the hospital by paramedics, where he died.

Officers at the shooting scene learned that a resident’s 16-year-old son was given permission by his mother to host a birthday party Saturday night. The mother was not home at the time of the shooting and only learned about it once she returned home, Ciaccia said.

No suspects in Tyshaun’s shooting death have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been, Ciaccia said. Authorities continue to investigate the case.

When reached by cleveland.com, one of Tyshaun’s aunts, Nita Moore, said her family was at the hospital all night and is “tired and hurt and frustrated.” Another aunt, who agreed to speak with cleveland.com in lieu of an interview with Tyshaun’s mother, could not be reached after multiple attempts Sunday afternoon.
