TOLEDO, Ohio — A man accused of shooting and killing a 34-year-old driving a car in west Toledo in mid-April was been indicted on murder charges by a Lucas County grand jury on Thursday.
Alton Reid, 30, was indicted on two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, one count of discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises and one count of having weapons while under disability.
Reid's charges stem from the April 16 homicide of Levell Saunders, who died early that morning from multiple gunshot wounds. Toledo police said Saunders and a 32-year-old victim were both shot inside their vehicle and attempted to drive to the hospital, crashing along the way. Family members then drove both victims the rest of the way.
Reid is being held in the Lucas County Jail on a $2 million bond.
This is not the first time Reid has been accused of gun violence in the last year.
In June of 2022, Reid was accused of shooting a woman.
On April 18, two days after the shooting on Upton Ave., Reid plead guilty to felonious assault in the 2022 shooting, having previously being charged with aggravated assault in that case.
Saunders was the 10th homicide of 2023 in Toledo. There have been 12 homicides so far.
