This is one of several shootings that have occurred at this location over the past year and a half, including one that resulted in the death of 74-year-old John Toyer.
In March, members of the Toledo Police Department Gang Task Force were conducting a suspect stop in the parking lot of the gas station when shots were fired into the parking lot from a vehicle. At least one stray bullet hit and killed Toyer, who was inside his vehicle at the gas pump.
In July 2020, two people were hospitalized after being shot at the gas station, which was described at the time as a popular overnight hangout.
