CLEVELAND, Ohio – A Cuyahoga County grand jury returned indictments charging three men with attempted murder for shooting at police officers in Cleveland.

On Oct. 28, Ray Agosto, 32-year-old Wayne Agosto, 25-year-old Dakota Greene and 31-year-old Dylan Mitchell were near Denison Avenue and West 31st Street in Cleveland and CPD officers were already there, police said. 39-year-old Ray Agosto is wanted in the area for an incident involving his downstairs neighbors days ago.

According to police, Wayne Agosto fired at officers multiple times and the officers returned fire. Ray Agosto and Dakota Greene fled the scene. Wayne Agosto and Dylan Mitchell were arrested at the scene.

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

“I am grateful that Cleveland police officers were not injured while trying to apprehend Ray Agosto,” said prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley. “These violent, armed predators have nothing to do with our community and I am glad they are off our streets.”

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

Later that day, Ray Agosto, Wayne Agosto, Dakota Greene and Dylan Mitchell were near Denison Avenue and West 31st Street in Cleveland. CDP officers were already actively searching for Ray Agosto in that area in connection with the above incidents. Wayne Agosto then shot at the officers multiple times, and the officers returned fire. Ray Agosto and Dakota Greene then fled the scene. Wayne Agosto and Dylan Mitchell were arrested at the scene, and Wayne was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Dakota Greene was later located at an apartment complex and arrested.

The next day near West 131st Street in Cleveland, Ray Agosto was arrested after a two-hour standoff with the U.S. Marshals’ Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, the Cleveland SWAT Team, and CPD.

The investigation is being conducted by CPD and is ongoing.
