Police said that on Oct. 28, Ray Agosto, Wayne Agosto, 32, Dakota Green, 25, and Dylan Mitchell, 31, were near Denison Avenue and West 31st Street in Cleveland when CPD officers who were already at the area is looking for 39-year-old Ray Agosto in connection with an incident that occurred with his downstairs neighbors a few days earlier.

Wayne Agosto fired several shots at officers, who returned fire, police said. Ray Agosto and Dakota Green fled the scene. Wayne Agosto and Dylan Mitchell were arrested at the scene.

Wayne was taken to a nearby hospital after being shot by police.

Police said Ray Agosto approached neighbors again on Oct. 28 and said he forgot his keys. When she opened the door, Agosto had a gun and a knife in his hand. He tried to hit her in the face but hit the wall. The victim’s husband heard Agosto and closed the front door. Agosto fled the scene.

Ray Agosto and Dakota Green then fled the scene. Wayne Agosto and Dylan Mitchell were arrested at the scene and Wayne was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries.
