One person is dead, another injured and a third person missing after a home invasion in Cleveland early Monday.

The 911 Communications Center received a call on Monday at 12:01 a.m. regarding shots fired at Springbrook Apartments, 2360 Blackburn Road.  

Cleveland Police Department officers responded to apartment #93 where they found a deceased male, identified as Adam Johnson, 18.

It was later discovered that a male juvenile, who fled the scene, had also been shot during the altercation and was transported by a private vehicle to Tennova.
