CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland police officer, though off-duty at the time, shot and killed a 21-year-old Black man man late Saturday at the Corner Alley bowling alley in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood on the city's largely Black east side, a police spokesperson said Saturday.
The name of the young man killed is being witheld until family members are notified, another tragedy in the largely Black major American city of some 385,000 people.
The shooting, which follows a host of high profile Cleveland police killings of Black men and boys in recent years, including 12-year-old Tamir Rice, Brandon Jones and rapper Kenneth Smith, happened about 11 p.m and police officers from Case Western Reserve University Circle quickly came to the scene.

According to police, a fight broke out inside of the bowling alley and the police officer, who was working part-time, escorted several men outside after they were kicked out.
The 21-year-old came back inside of the bowling alley and the cop, who is now on administrate leave with pay, shot and killed him claiming he had been attacked by the man.
At least one witness allegedly heard shots but it is not clear if that witness saw the shooting.
The man was taken to University Hospitals, and later died, police said.
The officer who shot and killed the young Black man, and whose name is currently being withheld, purportedly suffered injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said.
Police said that there were no other reported injuries relative to the incident.
