CLEVELAND — It’s been 10 years since an Ohio man was shot and killed at a bus stop and investigators are still looking for answers.

Stephen Halton Jr., 30, was shot at a bus stop in northeast Cleveland while waiting for the bus to his job at the Cleveland Clinic on Jan. 11, 2014.

The bus stop was near Lakeshore Boulevard and Grovewood Avenue. People nearby reported hearing a commotion before the gunshot.

Seven years later, in 2021, the Cleveland Division of Police asked the Cold Case Unit at the Ohio Attorney General’s Office’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) to take a fresh look at the case.

Now, BCI is looking for any new leads.
