CLEVELAND, Ohio - A 29-year-old man died Saturday after he was shot several times while sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle on the city's East Side, police said.

The shooting happened about 11:15 p.m. near the intersection of East 118th Street and Buckeye Road, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said. First responders found a vehicle crashed into a building and the driver shot in the side and back.

The victim was taken by paramedics to University Hospitals, where he was pronounced dead, Ciaccia said. The victim's identity will be released by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office once family is notified.

Detectives at the shooting scene learned that the victim's vehicle was stopped as he talked to people in another car. Two unidentified males walked by and began shooting, Ciaccia said.

The driver was struck, causing him to accelerate the vehicle, lose control and crash into the building, Ciaccia said.

No shooting suspects have been identified or arrested. However, one arrest was made at the crash scene after officers watched a 27-year-old man take a duffle bag from the vehicle and move it behind a nearby building, Ciaccia said.

Police recovered the bag and found several bags of marijuana. The 27-year-old man was taken into custody and faces drug charges, Ciaccia said.

Homicide detectives continue to probe the case. Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Cleveland police at 216-621-1234.
