The post Bedford Police Blotter 09/01/2025 – 09/15/2025 first appeared on The Bedford Tribune.

Authorities identified the suspect as Carl Jeffrey, who now faces two counts of felonious assault. He is currently being held at the Solon City Jail.

The incident occurred Monday morning around 10:30 a.m. in the 800 block of Washington Street. According to Bedford Police, both a man and a woman were struck by gunfire during the attack. Emergency responders transported the victims for treatment, and officials later confirmed their conditions had stabilized. Their names have not been made public.

Police reported that Jeffrey was located and taken into custody not far from the scene shortly after the shooting. He had also sustained injuries and received medical attention at a local hospital before being transferred to jail.

Investigators believe that Jeffrey was acquainted with both victims, though the exact nature of their relationship has not been disclosed. Authorities have not released a motive for the shooting at this time, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The proximity of the incident to Central Primary School raised concern in the community, though officials did not report any immediate threat to students or staff during the event. Bedford Police continue to gather information as the case proceeds through the courts.

The incident occurred around 10:35 a.m. at a home in the 800 block of Washington Street. Bedford police said officers arrived to find a man and a woman with gunshot wounds. Officers provided first aid at the scene until EMS arrived.

Both victims were transported to MetroHealth Medical Center, where they remain in critical condition.

Police reported that the suspect fled the area but was later detained on Broadway Avenue outside a business. The individual was taken to South Pointe Hospital with serious injuries.

No additional information has been released as the investigation continues.

The post Two Victims in Critical Condition After Bedford Shooting As Reported By WKYC Studios first appeared on The Bedford Tribune.

On May 7, security cameras at a local apartment complex recorded Devonta Staten attacking his 2-year-old pit bull mix, India. The footage showed him throwing the dog down a stairwell and later dragging and slamming her against a wall. The video was described by police as deeply troubling and difficult to watch.

Staten was initially arraigned on a not guilty plea but later changed his plea to guilty in August. On Tuesday, a judge sentenced him to six months in prison for the attack.

Following the incident, the dog was taken to a city-run kennel shared by Bedford Heights and Bedford. She was later adopted by Bedford Police Chief Michael Stask, who renamed her Baylin. Stask brought Baylin to the sentencing, where he shared that the dog now suffers from frequent seizures linked by veterinarians to the trauma she endured. Despite her suffering, Baylin has been described as gentle and affectionate.

Staten expressed remorse during the hearing, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation and its lasting consequences on his life.

Baylin remains under veterinary care and requires heavy medication to manage her seizures. While the case highlights the harm she endured, her adoption ensures she is now living in a safe and caring environment.

The post Bedford Police Blotter 08/08/2025 – 08/24/2025 first appeared on The Bedford Tribune.

Recreational fires are allowed in Bedford, but with a few important rules:

• Fires must be contained in a properly constructed outdoor fireplace, fire pit, or chiminea—not open ground.
• Keep your fire at least 25 feet away from any structure or combustible surface.
• Fires must be constantly attended and fully extinguished before being left.
• Only clean, dry wood may be burned. Burning leaves, yard waste, construction debris, or trash is strictly prohibited.
• Be mindful of wind conditions, as drifting embers can become a hazard.

If neighbors report excessive smoke or unsafe conditions, the Bedford Fire Department has the authority to extinguish any fire deemed hazardous or noncompliant.

Before lighting up this fall, double-check that your setup meets city safety codes. It’s the best way to enjoy the season’s charm—without the fire truck.

Tip: Keep a hose or bucket of water nearby, just in case, and be sure smoke isn’t drifting toward neighboring homes.

Note: For the most up-to-date information, visit the City Website.

The post Fall Fires Done Right: Cozy Up Safely in Bedford first appeared on The Bedford Tribune.

Michael Alvarado, 21, and Michael Roman, 30, are facing charges of aggravated murder, murder, and felonious assault in connection with the February 1 shooting that killed 19-year-old Johndiel Rivera.

According to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley, Rivera was driving home from work around 3:50 a.m. when Roman, driving a separate vehicle with Alvarado in the passenger seat, pulled alongside near the Aurora Road exit. Prosecutors say the two men opened fire, striking Rivera’s car and causing him to lose control before crashing into the concrete median.

O’Malley said Roman and Alvarado then returned to the scene and fired additional shots into Rivera’s vehicle. Rivera, a young father, was pronounced dead after Bedford Heights Police discovered his abandoned car around 7 a.m.

Investigators later revealed that Alvarado and Rivera worked together. Police allege that Roman picked up Alvarado the night of the incident and waited near Rivera’s workplace before following him. After the shooting, Alvarado reportedly called off work for two days.

Alvarado was arrested on February 26 by Bedford Heights Police, while Roman was taken into custody two days later by the U.S. Marshals’ Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force.

A new trial date has not yet been announced.

School Zone Speed Limit
In Bedford, the maximum speed in a school zone is 20 miles per hour during:

• School recess
• When children are arriving or leaving school during opening or closing hours
• Any time 20 mph school speed limit signs are posted

Flashing lights are not required on school zone signs, so drivers should slow down whenever children may be present, even if no lights are activated.

What Counts as a School
The ordinance covers not only public and chartered private schools, but also approved nonchartered schools, certain special elementary schools, and qualifying preschool programs. These schools can request the creation of a designated school zone, complete with signage.

School Zone Boundaries
School zones typically extend up to 300 feet in each direction from the school property lines, or from marked pupil crosswalks. The Ohio Director of Transportation may extend these boundaries upon request from the city.

Crosswalks Near Schools
If a crosswalk is commonly used by students and is located within 1,320 feet of a school, the city can designate it as part of a school zone. This zone includes the crosswalk area and 300 feet on either side, creating a wider buffer for student safety.

Safety Reminder
Even outside of posted hours, slowing down near schools and crosswalks keeps students safe and avoids costly citations. When in doubt, ease off the gas—Bedford’s youngest pedestrians are worth the extra seconds.
