Suspect dies after being shot by Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Deputy

555 The man who was shot by a Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Deputy following an accident and confrontation Thursday evening has died, the county medical examiner confirms. Brett Luengo, of Westlake, succumbed to his injuries early Friday morning at MetroHealth Medical Center. He was 33 years old. Sheriff Clifford Pinkney and County Executive Armond Budish held a conference on the matter around 10:30 a.m. Pinkney said the deputy's stun gun was "ineffective," forcing him to shoot Luengo. Officials from both the sheriff's department and the Cleveland Division of Police responded to an accident between the West 117th and West Blvd exits around 7.30 p.m. last night. The Sheriff's department says the involved deputy was working the traffic enforcement detail when the crash occurred. Luengo and others involved in the accident were apparently engaging in an altercation, and Luengo became aggressive with the deputy, prompting him to be tased.
