Man indicted for murder in May shooting at Spotlight Lounge

Darryl Lathan, who is already incarcerated at CCNO, was charged in October. The shooting happened in a 22-day window he had between a prior conviction and jail.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Editor's note: The above video originally aired in May.

A 26-year-old was indicted Monday in the shooting death of Armonte Rodgers earlier this year.

A murder warrant was issued in early October for Darryl Lathan, who is already incarcerated at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio on an unrelated charge. On Oct. 25, Lathan was indicted on one count each of murder, felonious assault and failure to comply with the signal of a police officer.

Rodgers was shot May 16 at the Spotlight Lounge on South Reynolds Road and later died at the hospital.

Lathan was already in CCNO for violating a court order after a previous drug charge conviction. Lathan was convicted of that violation on May 6, which was 10 days before the shooting death of Rodgers. 

Lathan was given a stay on the beginning of his jail time for the drug conviction until May 24, meaning he allegedly killed Rodgers during the 22-day window he was given between conviction and jail. 

Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111.
