CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio -The 21-year-old Black man shot and killed late Saturday by Cleveland Police Sgt Dean Graziolly at the Corner Alley bowling alley on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood has been identified by the Cuyahoga County medical examiner as Thomas Yatsko.
Graziolly is White and is on administrative leave with pay for now.
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 Graziolly, who was working part-time as an off-duty Cleveland cop, escorted several young men outside after they were kicked out.
Yatsko allegedly came back inside of the bowling alley and Graziolly shot and killed him claiming he had been attacked by the young man.
At least one witness allegedly heard shots but it is not clear if that witness saw the shooting.
Police said that there were no other reported injuries relative to the incident.
