CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Cleveland man is accused of shooting a DoorDash delivery driver who was driving through the city’s Union-Miles neighborhood.

Michael Alford, 21, is charged with felonious assault in the incident. He is not in police custody, but a warrant was issued Thursday for his arrest.

Alford texted or messaged two people shortly after the shooting and said he had just “lit” someone up, according to court records.

The shooting happened about about 8:30 p.m. Oct. 28 on East 131st Street near Ferris Avenue.

Alford fired several gunshots that struck a 45-year-old man who was driving through the neighborhood to deliver food from the restaurant Zanzibar, according to police reports.

Witnesses said they heard gunfire and saw the delivery driver’s car drift off the side of the road and hit a utility pole, police reports say. Several people stopped a Cleveland EMS ambulance driving with another patient and reported the man was injured.

Officers found a DoorDash bag inside his car, along with his phone, which had the DoorDash app open, according to police reports.

Witnesses also said someone in a black car sitting in a nearby field was involved in the shooting, police reports say.

Officers found three bullet holes in the car, police reports say.

Officers also heard several people arguing about the car in a nearby home, and spoke to someone inside. , They told police that after they heard the gunfire, Alford ran into a relative’s home, turned off the lights and hid a gun under a pile of clothes, police reports said.

Officers ordered Alford outside at gunpoint and arrested him. He lied to police about his identity, police reports say.

Officers also tested Alford’s hands to see if he recently fired a gun, police reports say.

Alford has previously been convicted of burglary, carrying concealed weapons, drug possession and grand theft, according to court records.
