Derek Wooten, 59, of Euclid, Ohio, was found dead on December 7, 2023, lying face up in the rear driveway of a home on Aaron Drive. The discovery came about 8:15 PM after reports of gunfire in the area; initial reports say he sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Euclid police responded to the scene and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities have not released details about any suspects or arrests.

The violent circumstances and location — a rear driveway at night — raise questions about whether Wooten knew his attacker or was targeted at random. Anyone who was in the Aaron Drive area that evening or who has information about Derek Wooten’s movements before 8:15 PM is asked to contact investigators. Do you have any information that could help the investigation?
