10-18-2014 Ohio:SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio -- A South Euclid officer shot and killed a man who was involved in a domestic incident at an Avondale Road home early Saturday, according to police.
Ronnie D. McNary, 44, of Cleveland, died at Hillcrest Hospital after being shot at the home, a Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's spokesman confirmed Saturday.
The officer's name has not been released.
Officers went to the home at 4:13 a.m. to investigate a domestic dispute. When they arrived, the heard a woman yelling for help, South Euclid Chief Kevin Nietert said in a statement.
Officers entered the home and saw a man assaulting the woman with a knife. The man did not obey when the officers told him to stop, and an officer shot the man in order to protect the woman, Nietert said.
The man was taken to Hillcrest Hospital, where he died. The woman was also taken to a hospital and she is expected to recover from her injuries, Nietert said.
The incident was not a random act of violence because the man and women knew each other, police said.
McNary pleaded guilty in 2012 to charges of abduction, attempted felonious assault and domestic violence. He was sentenced to two years' probation, according to Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court records.
In 1989, McNary pleaded guilty to charges of felonious assault, gross sexual imposition, sexual battery and trafficking in drugs in three separate cases. He was required to register as a sex offender when he was released from prison in 2002, according to court records.
Several neighbors said the woman moved into the neighborhood a few months ago and lived alone. They described the woman as being quiet but friendly.
None of the neighbors questioned had seen police cars at the house in the past.
"It was a kind of a shock," said Adam Royon, who lives next door to the woman.
The incident is still being investigated, and South Euclid police said Saturday afternoon that no additional information is available at this time. ..Source.. by Evan MacDonald
