On Saturday, Aug. 27, a white Solon, Ohio man murdered a Black driver after the two were involved in a near-fatal car collision.

According to Cleveland 19, 29-year-old Matthew Desha crashed his SUV into 53-year-old Deborah Pearl’s sedan.

Investigators tell the outlet that Desha ran a red light at an intersection and sped into Pearl’s car.

The 29-year-old’s SUV rammed into the sedan at high speed.

Consequently, Desha’s vehicle flipped, according to eye witness and 911 caller Barbara Bartels.

“There’s a car flipped over in front of our house and another car on the corner.”

But, both drivers made it out alive.

Then, Desha exited the vehicle with a 5.56-millimeter high powered assault rifle in hand. He proceeded to the woman’s vehicle.

The New York Daily News reports that the 53-year-old woman held her hands up before Desha fired his weapon.

Eye witnesses tells reporters they heard 12 shots.

Subsequently, the man took aim at other drivers after killing the 53-year-old, says Bartels.

Police found the woman on the ground bleeding out from the gunshot wounds.

“When our officers arrived they found a man with a rifle in the vicinity. He was taken into custody immediately” said Solon Police Lt. Bruce Felton.

Now, Desha has been charged with murder.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
