Police searching for wanted fugitive in Ohio

OHIO — Authorities are searching for a Cleveland man who has pleaded guilty to multiple violent crimes and is now on the run, according to Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County.

Deondre Seals is facing 14 charges, including attempted murder, aggravated assault, and child endangering.

The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department has issued two warrants for his arrest.

In the most serious case, Seals allegedly beat a victim, then pulled a gun and fired, grazing the victim’s neck with a bullet. He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and child endangering but failed to appear in court, prompting a warrant for his arrest.

His second warrant stems from an October 2022 case, where Seals pleaded guilty to attempted felony assault, assault, and DUI.

In that incident, he reportedly rammed his car into another vehicle and then struck it again on the driver’s side, injuring the victim, who was treated for a fractured hand.

Seals is now facing the following charges:

• Attempted murder
• Felonious assault (x2, including firearm specification)
• Assault
• DUI (x2)
• Aggravated robbery (x2, with firearm specification)
• Aggravated assault
• Attempted felonious assault
• Receiving stolen property
• Domestic violence
• Endangering children
• Theft/aggravated theft

Seals is described as 6’2” tall, weighing 200 pounds, and was last known to be in the 17000 block of Westdale Avenue in Cleveland.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 216-252-7463. Tips leading to an arrest and conviction could be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000. Tipsters can remain anonymous and calls are not recorded.
