14-year-old boy killed in central Toledo shooting

A 14-year-old boy was shot and killed while sitting in a vehicle outside a house in central Toledo. A second, separate shooting targeted a townhouse.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A 14-year-old boy is dead and two other victims are in serious condition following a pair of shootings in Toledo late Monday night.

The first incident happened in the 700 block of Woodland near Ewing.

According to detectives on the scene, the 14-year-old, identified as Jaylen Pryor, was sitting in a silver Volkswagen when another vehicle drove up next to it and a gunman opened fire.

Pryor was hit several times by gunfire and was rushed to the hospital where he later died from his injuries. 

A Toledo Public Schools spokesperson confirmed Pryor was an eighth-grade student at Robinson Elementary.

Lucas County Deputy Coroner Thomas Blomquist ruled Pryor's cause of death to be from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled it a homicide. The teen was pronounced dead at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center at 1:31 a.m.

Detectives say the shooter was in a black SUV and quickly fled the scene.

A second teen inside the Volkswagen was not injured.

Friends and family members showed up at the scene soon after the shooting happened, searching for answers.
