CLEVELAND, Ohio - A man with a developmental disability was shot in the head and killed on New Year's Eve, Cleveland police say.
The 18-year-old man was found about 3:30 a.m. Sunday, lying on the ground near the intersection of Kenyon Avenue and East 65th Street in the city's Broadway-Slavic Village neighborhood, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt.

Detectives learned that the man had just finished his shift at a nearby Rally's restaurant and was shoveling snow, Ciaccia said. The investigators found a snow shovel near where the victim was found.
Investigators also learned about the victim's developmental disability and discovered that he lived at a group home near the shooting scene, Ciaccia said.
