Euclid, Ohio – Two siblings, identified as 21-year-old Mariana Grier and 20-year-old Antwon Grier, were fatally shot during a gathering in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Euclid Avenue near East 221st Street on Tuesday evening.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner confirmed the deaths, which occurred after gunfire erupted among a crowd in the complex’s parking lot shortly after 7 p.m.
Both siblings sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to University Hospitals, where they were pronounced dead.
Surveillance footage from the Green Ridge Apartments captured the moments leading up to the shooting.
The video shows a group of four women gathered in a back parking lot. One of the women appeared agitated and punched her hand, as though preparing for a confrontation.
A blue SUV, reportedly driven by Mariana, is seen entering the area shortly afterward. According to the apartment manager, Mariana and her sister, who resides in the complex, were returning from a grocery trip.
As the SUV turned into the parking lot, Antwon Grier is seen confronting the group of women. Moments later, the women scattered as the SUV moved to another part of the lot.
Footage then shows Mariana and her sister exiting the SUV and attempting to flee the scene. Tragically, Mariana collapses suddenly, having been struck by gunfire.
