Watch: East Cleveland police chief holds briefing on Alishah Pointer investigation

The East Cleveland Police Department has announced the arrest of a suspect wanted in connection to the disappearance and presumed death of 22-year-old Alishah Pointer. Court records have also revealed that a juvenile suspect is facing murder and kidnapping charges. Chief Scott Gardner says the department arrested Nathaniel Poke, one of the suspects sought in the woman's disappearance, which happened early last week. Police had also previously announced that they are looking for Hakeem Ali Shomo, who is wanted for his role in the incident. Gardner says there are a total of six arrest warrants that the department has taken out for the case. "The list is growing," he said in a statement to 3News. Meanwhile, Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Juvenile records show that a 17-year-old girl is in custody and facing 11 counts including murder, aggravated murder, and kidnapping in the events surrounding Pointer's disappearance and presumed death. 3News is not providing her name. Late Tuesday afternoon, officials were called to a burned-out home on Savannah Avenue in East Cleveland after receiving a tip that Pointer's body was in the basement of the house. Police confirmed that they did find a Black woman's body, but are waiting for Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office to confirm whether or not it is the missing 22-year-old. "We are highly confident that is her [Pointer]," Gardner told 3News on Tuesday. Pointer first disappeared on November 4 and was reported missing on November 5. Gardner says investigators believe that assailants kidnapped an East Cleveland resident in order to lure out Pointer, who was believed to have had information relative to a crime committed in Cleveland. He adds that the assailants tortured Pointer and took her to several locations, before finally killing her on Savanna Avenue. READ: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/cri...
