CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

A man has been arrested for the murder of a Cleveland clothing store owner, a killing that outraged a community.

23-year-old Bernard Richardson is sitting in the Cleveland City Jail under a homicide charge.

The killing happened on East 143rd and Kinsman at Well's clothing store on January 8.

Store owner 54-year-old Abou "Willie" Kane, an immigrant from South Africa with two young children, was the victim in this incident.
