CLEVELAND – Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley announced that Jonathan Chambers, 31, pled guilty to shooting two Cleveland Police officers and a 37-year-old man in Cleveland on November 3, 2018.

Both the 37-year-old man and police officer were transported to the hospital for treatment. Chambers was arrested later that evening.
Chambers pled guilty to the following charges:
•
Three counts of
Attempted Murder
Chambers will be sentenced on April 8, 2019 at 1:30pm. He faces a range of 13 to 46 years in prison.
