Upon arrival, two women were located with gunshot wounds. Both woman where taking to Metro Hospital. Cleveland Heights police say the incident started from a disturbance between a group of 6-8 males and a second group of patrons inside of the bar.

Arrion Y. Smiley died at the age of 25 on Saturday night. She leaves behind her family, friends, her best friend Rhonda, and her beautiful 5 year old daughter (whom I will not say the name due to her privacy.)



How do you tell a young girl that her mom is never coming home? Why are some people such cowards that they pick up a gun to solve there problems? Why do the good die young? You took some one child, mother, friend, lover, and sister away! There isn't no worsen pain than losing someone you love.

"She was a good person, loved by many. She was getting her life together.That was my best friend I cant believe this happen to her .I love her, and Ima miss her so much."

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
