Trial set to begin for man accused of Cleveland Warehouse District mass shooting

The trial for Jaylon Jennings, the 25-year-old man accused of a mass shooting in Cleveland's Warehouse District, will begin on Monday.

The trial is set to begin at 9 a.m.

The mass shooting that injured nine people took place on West 6th Street near Johnson Court in downtown Cleveland around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 9.

Law enforcement officials say that Jennings and Kevin Del Valle-Salaman left Rumor Bar and Lounge around 2 a.m. to go to Del Valle-Salaman's car that was parked nearby. Jennings allegedly grabbed a gun, walked back to West 6th Street and waited for some of the victims to exit the bar.

Jennings then allegedly fired into a crowd of people before fleeing the scene. The nine victims shot ranged in age from 23-38 years. All of the victims survived.

Jennings was arrested last July on the following charges:

Nine Counts of Attempted Murder
18 Counts of Felonious Assault
Two counts of Having a Weapon Under Disability
One count of Grand Theft
One count of Receiving Stolen Property
The Lorain native is currently being held on a $9 million bond after he pleaded not guilty in July 2023.

Del Valle-Salaman previously pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and obstructing justice. His sentencing is set for Thursday, May 23.
