CLEVELAND, Ohio – A Cleveland man died 10 days after he was shot in a supermarket in the city’s Lee-Miles neighborhood.

Rashaun Yearby, 46, was shot in the head about 11:45 p.m. on Nov. 24, according to police and the office of the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner. The shooting happened at Super One Market in the 4500 block of Lee Road, south of Langley Avenue.

Police administered aid until paramedics arrived. They transported Yearby to MetroHealth Medical Center, where he remained in the intensive care unit until he died on Sunday.

Witnesses told police that Yearby was in line inside of the market when a man with a “short afro and beard,” shot him, police said. The man was described to be between 25 and 30, witnesses told police.

The suspect left the firearm he had fired at Yearby in the parking lot before he drove away in the vehicle.

Homicide detectives will lead the investigation.
