    Demetrius Allen Sentenced to LWOP in 2010 OH Double Murder

    Death penalty sought against 2 men in AK-47 killings

    Two 22-year-old men indicted on aggravated murder charges today could face the death penalty if found guilty of killing of two men near Imperial Avenue.

    Montez Logan, of Akron, and Demetrius Allen, of Garfield Heights, killed Kenneth Green, 18, and Miley Slaughter, 22, near East 123rd Street near Imperial Avenue, Cuyahoga County prosecutors said.

    The shootings occurred about 8:40 p.m. on July 17. Another victim of the shooting, Antwon Weems, 22, had to have his foot amputated.

    Logan and Allen were also charged with attempted murder and weapons offenses in Common Pleas Court.

    Ryan Miday, spokesman for the prosecutor's office, said the day before the shooting there was a fight between men at East 55th Street and Woodlawn Avenue.

    The next day, two men with an assault rifle and a handgun walked up on five men in front of a home on East 123rd Street and opened fire.

    "Miley Slaughter made it to the driveway when he was shot several times by the AK-47," Miday said. "He fell down in the driveway. The shooter with the AK-47 then fired more rounds at two victims... The shooter with the AK-47 then turned around, stood over Slaughter and fired more rounds into him. (Slaughter) was shot a total of nine times."

    Miday said Green, who was running toward the back yard, was shot by a semi-automatic and was found gasping for air.

    An AK-47 is a selective fire assault rifle first developed in the Soviet Union.

    Miday noted that the shooting took place around the corner from the home of accused serial killer Anthony Sowell, who is awaiting trial in the deaths of 11 women.

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two 23-year-old men who opened fire on five people in Cleveland last July killing two and wounding another, were sentenced to life in prison Tuesday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.
    Demetrius Allen, of Cleveland and Montez Logan, of Akron, will be eligible for parole after they serve 46 years. On July 17, 2010, Allen and Logan approached five people near the intersection of East 123rd Street and Imperial Avenue.
    Using an AK-47 and a semi-automatic handgun, they opened fire, killing Miley Slaughter, 22, and Kenneth Green, 18, according to a news release from the Cuyahoga County Prosecutors Office.
    A 23-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the foot. Two others were not injured.
    Last Friday , a jury found Allen and Logan guilty of attempted aggravated murder, aggravated murder and having weapons while under disability.
