CLEVELAND, Ohio-The family of Tanisha Anderson (pictured) and community activists, Cleveland NAACP members, and others will hold a vigil on Saturday,  Nov. 22 at 5 pm at the family home on 1372 Ansel Road in Cleveland where the 37-year-old unarmed Black woman was killed by police .

"We invite the community to the vigil and thank them and community activists for their support," said Joell Anderson, Tanisha Anderson's brother, who also told Cleveland Urban News.Com that he is limited to what he can say around the ordeal per the directive of the family attorney, David Malik.

An autopsy is pending.

According to the family,  an ambulance was called to the family home on Nov. 12  because Anderson, who was not violent and had a history of mental health p[roblems, was not herself.  Instead, Cleveland police arrived and ultimately placed her in handcuffs and then in the police car. When she verbally objected, she was allegedly slammed to the sidewalk by police. An ambulance took some 20 minutes to arrive at the scene and Anderson, whose body is currently with the county coroner, died.

The guest speaker is Lucas County Democratic Party Executive Director Yvonne Harper, who is Black.

Others slated to speak include Cleveland NAACP Secretary Arlene Anderson, Cleveland Ward 10 Councilman Jeff Johnson, the Reverends Brenda Ware Abrams and Jeffery Jemison, who is a former chaplain for the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party and a former East Cleveland School Board member, labor affiliate Lane Dunbar, and community activists Gwendolyn Pitts, Dick Peery, and Grio Y-Von.

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern, who lost his own reelection as state representative, announced election night of Nov 4 that he is quitting, a decision that came after incumbent Republican Gov. John Kasich trounced Democrat Ed FitzGerald, the outgoing Cuyahoga County executive. This, coupled with an embarrassing Republican sweep of all statewide offices, including attorney general, treasurer, secretary of state and auditor, and two Supreme Court seats, has some Democrats bothered. And Black leaders and community activists of Cuyahoga County, a Democratic stronghold, want a say in who will be the next party chair for the Dems of Ohio as the 2016 presidential election looms.

CLEVELAND, Ohio- The city of Cleveland has settled a notorious wrongful death and  police excessive force case for $3 million, where unarmed Blacks Malissa Williams, 30, and Tim Russell, 43, were gunned down the night of  November 29, 2012 with Cleveland police slinging 137 bullets. Neither victim was wanted by police when the incident happened and no criminal charges were pending against either of them,  public records reveal.

Reached tentatively in Cuyahoga County Probate Court on Monday, the two families will split the money, which must be approved by County Probate Court Judge Anthony Russo. The lawyers will get their third-or-more too, two for the Williams family, and primarily one with standing for the estate of Russell, and who was appointed by the probate court.

Among the host of defendants named in the two lawsuits are police, all of them at issue sued in both their official and personal capacities, and the city of Cleveland.

The fatal shooting followed a high speed car chase that began in downtown Cleveland and ended in the parking lot of Heritage Middle School in neighboring East Cleveland.

The settlement was originally reached earlier this year in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio before Federal District Court Judge Dan Polster, but the case was then addressed in probate court on behalf of the estates of the two shooting victims.

Cleveland Civil Rights and Constitutional Attorney Terry Gilbert, Russell's lawyer, said in a previous one-on-one interview with Cleveland Urban News.Com, Ohio's leading digital Black newspaper, that money is not enough to appease the Cleveland community.
