🔍 Steel city secrets

Cuyahoga County • September 5, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The steel industry drama that's been unfolding across headlines has reached a surprising conclusion, with Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel voluntarily dismissing their lawsuit against Cleveland-Cliffs. This settlement allows one of North America's leading steel producers to refocus on what it does best—producing materials that keep our automotive industry rolling. Meanwhile, a troubling development has law enforcement on high alert as convicted felon Michael Sajn remains at large after a traffic stop revealed methamphetamine and an illegal firearm.

Perhaps most concerning is the ongoing mystery surrounding 15-year-old Keshaun Williams, who vanished without a trace after a house party in June 2023. Despite extensive searches using drones, helicopters, and ground teams throughout the county, the teenager's whereabouts remain unknown. With a substantial $27,000 reward now being offered, investigators hope someone will finally come forward with information that brings Keshaun home.
