CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Cleveland Council President Kevin Kelley has a cause for the increase in violent crimes.
“(It’s) the proliferation of guns the like I’ve never seen it before,” said Kelley.
Kelley’s 13th Ward witnessed the shooting of seven people at The Spot on Pearl Road at Brookpark, an illegal after-hours club. Kelley said the club has been shut down, the landlord has received a citation, and Cleveland police have made one arrest with more coming, according to Kelley, to send a message.

CLEVELAND, Ohio Cleveland women will participate in a national Women’s March event on Saturday, Jan. 23, on Cleveland’s west side.
The rally will start at 1 p.m. at Market Square, across from the Westside Market, with speakers and entertainment, followed by a 2:30 p.m. march and caravan across the Carnegie Bridge.
Hundreds of Cleveland women are expected to protest racial injustice, violence against women and attacks on reproductive rights.
The Women’s March began across the country in 2017, in response to President Donald Trump, whose rhetoric offended and galvanized women during the 2016 election. When he notoriously called his then-opponent Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman,” thousands of women claimed the phrase as their own.
