PARMA -- Two brothers were shot early Saturday outside Forest Ridge Apartments, 5601 Chevrolet Blvd.

Joseph Elsleger, 30, was shot once through the torso and Kenneth Elsleger, 27, was shot once in the neck.

Police believe it happened during a robbery attempt. They said the wounds were serious but not critical.

On Monday, Kenneth Elsleger was listed in fair condition at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.

Police said Joseph Elsleger was also taken to Metro but on Monday a hospital spokesperson said there was no record that he had been there.

At least one of the brothers lives at Forest Ridge, police said.

Here’s what happened, according to police:

The brothers and a group of friends arrived at Forest Ridge at about 2:39 a.m. They had been to a Parma Heights bar earlier that morning.

The brothers stepped out of a car. A male walked up and started a conversation by asking for a lighter.

Then the male took out a gun and demanded money. He shot the gun once in the air, then shot both brothers once.

The male ran away. Police aren’t sure whether he escaped in a vehicle. Several witnesses called police.

Police said there is no indication that the suspect knew the victims.

The suspect was described as white and about 5 feet 7 inches or 5 feet 8 inches tall. He was thin, in his 20s and was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt or jacket.

Anyone with information should call the Parma police tip line at (440) 887-7340.

Rent control rumored to be driving apartment sales | News

Mountain View's rent- control program has already survived political and legal trials -- but what about the business test?

If the trend continues, some say it will lead to a cascade of redevelopment spearheaded by large corporate buyers . This scenario would result in older apartments being phased out and replaced with new housing that is exempt from rent control. Those looking at the data with a more critical eye point out that sales of apartment buildings are up throughout the South Bay, and that the number of buyers indicates a healthy interest in investing in Mountain View housing , regardless of rent control. To take one example, Fremont residents Ann and Paul Lethers decided in June to sell their 18-unit complex on Del Medio Avenue in Mountain View, which they created from separate purchases of two adjacent nine-unit buildings. They say they h...
