  • The bodies of two Black girls were discovered in suitcases, buried in shallow graves on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio.
  • Police were alerted on Monday evening by a local resident walking their dog, who found what appeared to be a body inside a suitcase in a field near a school.
  • Officers subsequently located a second shallow grave containing another suitcase with a body; police confirmed the bodies were not dismembered.
  • The girls are estimated to be between 8-and-a-half to 13 years old and 10-and-a-half and 14 years old, but have not yet been identified, and no local missing children reports match their descriptions.
