Man dies in hospital after south Toledo shooting

The incident happened around 7:15 a.m. on Sunday morning on the 600 block of Sterling Street.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A man is dead after being shot in south Toledo, according to Toledo Police.

Authorities said Ramon Allen, 21, died from his injuries after being taken to the hospital.

The incident happened around 7:15 a.m. Sunday morning on the 600 block of Sterling Street. Neighbors said they didn't even hear any gunshots.

"It was a regular Sunday morning, I had my breakfast," neighbor John Derden said, "and I said damn what are all these red lights. Then I looked out the window and I saw the police."

A detective on the scene told WTOL Allen was shot in the stomach.

Derden said he and his family have lived on Sterling for decades and have hardly ever seen a police car on the street.

"We ain't never had no problems on this street," he said. "You know, I live here 47 years and barely see anybody walk up."

Neighbors added that recent gun violence around the neighborhood, especially involving young people, is troubling.

"It's too much going on out here you know," neighbor Jeff Myers said, "and these kids, they don't understand, life is valuable, so you know, I'm very concerned about that."

"I just hope it don't happen no more," Derden added. "You know because I hate to see people shooting and killing each other, you know too much of that."

Police are investigating and asking anyone with information to call crime stoppers at 419-255-1111.
