Shvets was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Cleveland police arrested two 17-year-old boys on Monday in Shvets’s death; however, their identities were not released.
Initial evidence pointed to Arizona, where investigators believe a person ordered a Lyft ride.
Detectives traced the suspects to Cleveland and located the teens, WOIO-19 reported.
The teens and two guns were taken into custody on the east side of Cleveland.
WOIO-19 reported that Shvets was Ukrainian and came to Northeast Ohio for a better life.
“Whether it was a drive-by or if he was getting robbed, Vasyl would have given everything. Nothing is worth your life,” Shvets’ reverend told WOIO-19.
His body will be returned to Ukraine, according to our CBS affiliate.
