LAKEWOOD, Ohio — A 21-year-old woman shot by her boyfriend early Friday at a Lakewood home has died, police say.
Sarah J. Mahmood, of New Port Richey, Florida, died at MetroHealth, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s website states. Lakewood police are still waiting for the medical examiner to provide an exact manner and cause of death, a news release sent Sunday says.
Mahmood was shot before her boyfriend, 23-year-old Amer A. Ahmad, shot and killed himself, police said. The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. Friday at a house on the 1400 block of Olivewood Avenue, just south of Detroit Road, police said.
Police received a 9-1-1 call stating that the caller’s son had just shot his girlfriend. Patrol officers who arrived at the house found Ahmad in his neighbor’s backyard. Ahmad ran behind a house before police heard a gunshot.
Ahmad was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He died at the scene, Lakewood police said.
The investigation into the circumstances around the shooting is ongoing, police said.
