Cleveland, OH – Late this morning, members of the U.S. Marshals led Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force (NOVFTF) arrested Frankie Hairston, 31.  Hairston was wanted by the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department for murder, felonious assault, involuntary manslaughter, and having weapons while under disability. 

Hairston is the fifth suspect to be indicted by Cleveland Police in connection with the October 18, 2025, murders that took place at the Sunoco gas station in the 7000 block of Fleet Ave. in the city’s Slavic Village neighborhood.  During the incident two people, Deon Stallings, 27, and Bruce Singleton, 46, were killed and two others, including Hairston, were injured.  Damon Walton, 34, Jabrial Adams, 37, and Gino Pierce, 38, had all previously been identified by Cleveland Police as involved in the incident. Their fugitive cases were all worked by the NOVFTF and all were arrested in 2025. Hairston was the last remaining fugitive involved in the incident. 

Members of the task force have been searching for Hairston regarding this case as well as an open burglary case from 2024.  This morning, investigators were able to locate Hairston at a home in the 3900 block of East 71st St. in Cleveland.  He was arrested there without incident. 

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “This was an incredibly violent incident that took place in the middle of a busy neighborhood.  The U.S. Marshals Service and its partners will continue to search for anyone involved in a violent incident that resulted in the loss of life as well as those who terrorize our communities with violence.”
