CLEVELAND, Ohio — FBI agents arrested a man on gun charges amid an investigation into a gang that operates on Cleveland’s West Side.

Jamar Colegrove, 32, is believed to be a member of the Bellaire Boys, who operate near West 130th Street in Cleveland’s Bellaire-Puritas neighborhood, according to court records.

Colegrove was charged last week in federal court in Cleveland with possessing a weapon with a felony record. He has not yet appeared in court, and no attorneys are listed for him in court records.

Colegrove is being held in the Cuyahoga County Jail on $150,000 bond stemming from charges in two cases in Common Pleas Court. Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer reached out to his attorney, Christopher McNeal, who represents him in those cases.

The FBI has been investigating the gang since 2020, according to court records. The gang operates on the far west side of the city and sells drugs and illegally carries guns, an FBI agent wrote in court filings.

Federal agents and Cleveland police began investigating Colegrove in June 2023 after he was suspected of carjacking someone at gunpoint.

Investigators scoured Colegrove’s social media accounts and found a photo he posted that appeared to show him in the backseat of a car with an AR-style pistol, according to court records.

FBI agents joined Cleveland police on Sept. 12 to arrest Colegrove on a warrant filed over the June armed robbery.

Investigators searched his home and found an AR-style pistol, another handgun and a shotgun, court records say. They also seized his phone and found several photos of Colegrove with the gun, according to court records.

A DNA sample taken from the gun matched with Colegrove.

Colegrove is facing aggravated robbery and felonious assault charges in Common Pleas Court. He pleaded not guilty in both cases.

Prosecutors said Colegrove on June 4, 2023, fired bullets into the home of a woman and her two teenage children on Grimsby Avenue, near Bellaire Road. No one was injured in the shooting.

Ten days later, police say he pointed a gun at a 28-year-old man and stole a Jeep and the man’s cellphone on Emery Avenue, near Bellaire.

Colegrove has felony convictions dating back to a 2013 drug trafficking case.

In 2014, he was sentenced to eight years in prison on three separate convictions. In one, he shoved a man off his bike, hitting him with a brick and robbing him of $185.

In another, he was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. And in the third, he was convicted in a drive-by shooting that wounded a 35-year-old man on Hirst Avenue in Cleveland.

He was sentenced to two years of probation in 2023 for failing to comply with Cleveland Metroparks police.

Court records say an officer approached him for smoking marijuana at Edgewater Park. Colegrove then tossed a gun and drugs in Lake Erie, jumped into the lake and tried to swim away.
