18-year-old charged with felonious assault in Whitmer football game shooting

D’Juan Gott, 18, was not a part of the shooting that wounded three people at a football game in October 2022 but allegedly helped with the setup, Toledo police said.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A teen has been arrested in connection to a shooting that wounded three people at a Whitmer High School football game last October. 

D’Juan Gott, 18, who was 17 at the time of the incident, was arrested on Oct. 6 and is charged with three counts of felonious assault with a gun specification.

Gott allegedly helped Jaron Phillips, 22, set up the shooting but was not a part of the actual incident, according to Toledo police.

A Lucas County grand jury indicted Phillips and another suspect, Kejuan Lucas, in July for their alleged roles in the shooting.
