Luis Cuevas, 33, of Cleveland was killed on June 13, 2021, during a shooting at Dragway 42 in West Salem, Ohio. The incident took place shortly before the end of the Import Face-Off event, a car show and drag racing series. Authorities say Cuevas was an innocent bystander and was not involved in the altercation that escalated into gunfire.

According to investigators, the sequence began when a man driving a gray pickup truck was confronted by track officials and attendees for reckless driving in the parking lot. Witnesses reported the driver, later identified as Jonathan Paul Roman Perez of Cleveland, fired multiple rounds from a handgun. Someone else in the crowd returned fire and roughly 20 rounds were exchanged. Cuevas was shot at least once and died later that day. Perez was arrested and charged with felonious assault; he was located at a medical facility with non-life-threatening injuries before being taken to the Wayne County Jail. The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is ongoing and additional charges or arrests are possible.

Does anyone who attended the Import Face-Off or who has video from the parking area have information that could help piece together what happened?
