Investigators say the apartment building on the 4400 block of Denison Avenue had been operating as an Airbnb when an “uninvited group” entered an ongoing New Year’s Eve party. An altercation occurred and gunshots rang out, leaving 19-year-old DelVaunte Johnson, 21-year-old Toshaun Banks, and 23-year-old DeVaughn Gibson dead. Authorities believe Biles-Thomas was the shooter.

According to multiple reports and online profiles, Biles-Thomas, who is on active duty with the Army, is the brother of Olympic champ Simone Biles.

Cleveland Police Chief Calvin D. Williams issued the following statement:

“The investigators within the Cleveland Police Homicide Unit remained committed to securing an arrest in this tragic case. We appreciate our partnership with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office and are confident that their efforts will bring justice for the families affected by this terrible incident.”

Biles-Thomas is currently at the Liberty County Jail in Hinesville, Georgia. An arraignment is set for Sept. 13 in Cleveland. It is unknown when he will be extradited.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley praised Cleveland police after the arrest.

“The relentless persistence of Cleveland Police Homicide detectives helped secure an indictment in this case,” O’Malley told WKYC. “It is through their hard work that we can begin to seek justice for these victims.”
