Cleveland Homicide Suspect Arrested by U.S. Marshals After Barricading Himself in a Home

Cleveland, OH – Earlier this afternoon, members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) arrested Trevonne Clemons, 31. Clemons was wanted by the Cleveland Division of Police for aggravated murder. 

On July 16, 2022, Trevonne Clemons was involved in a verbal altercation with the victim, Terry Ferguson, at a home in the 3300 block of East 73rd St. in Cleveland. During the argument Clemons shot Ferguson multiple times.  The shooting occurred in front of the victim’s children.  Clemons immediately fled the scene, and the victim was transported to MetroHealth where he later died from his injuries.  

A warrant was issued for Clemons shortly after the incident and he has been on the run since.  Early this morning, members of the NOVFTF gathered information that Clemons was in a home in South Euclid.  Members of the task force made contact with occupants in the home and confirmed that Clemons was hiding in the house. Clemons remained barricaded in the home for over two hours, eventually surrendering to officers.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “This case has been open for almost exactly two years and the task force never gave up looking for this suspect.  The U.S. Marshals will never give up on finding fugitives who commit violence in our communities.”
