Efforts are underway across Cleveland to mark the sites of tragedies that made headlines around the world.

On the east side of town, the former home of a serial killer is being transformed into a memorial garden to honor the lives of his victims.

On the west side, a more spontaneous shrine has appeared where 12-year-old Tamir Rice was fatally shot by a rookie police officer.
