Waterbury Avenue Resident Shares Surveillance Videos from Shooting With Police

Douglas Trowbridge is so concerned about neighborhood safety that he has nine security cameras watching his home.

And after a fatal shooting on Waterbury Avenue just may be helpful to as they continue their investigation.

He's turned over copies of his videos to police to help with their ongoing investigation.

Trowbridge, who has lived at the home since 2000, caught some of the aftermath of the Friday night's shooting on video. Police say the incident left one 17-year-old Cleveland boy dead and another Cleveland man shot in the leg.

He’s got a sign on his front porch that says, “smile, you’re on camera,” he said. "It keeps ‘em honest.”

“I am sure it makes more work (for the police), but it also gets these criminals off the street. It gives them an accurate timeline and an accurate description.

“I wish more people had cameras on their house.”

He said the residents of the home didn’t cause too much trouble. “But the people who were coming and going are a different story,” he said.

Note cameras No. 4, No. 7 and No. 4 again as people flee from the shooting at 2051 Waterbury Avenue at around 9:30 p.m. (The time on the cameras is 57 minutes fast, Trowbridge says.)
