Man arrested in homicide of 34-year-old shot while driving

The victims attempted to drive to the hospital after the incident.

TOLEDO, Ohio — One man died early Sunday morning after he was shot and crashed his vehicle in west Toledo.

Toledo police were dispatched to an accident at the intersection of Jackman Road and Central Avenue around 5:40 a.m. Shortly after, officers were called to a hospital regarding two gunshot victims, a 34-year-old and a 32-year-old. 

Police say both had been shot inside their vehicle and attempted to drive to the hospital. 

The 34-year-old, Levell Saunders, crashed the vehicle on the way to the hospital. Family members then drove both victims the rest of the way.

Saunders later died at the hospital. The other victim remains hospitalized.

On Friday, Toledo police say 30-year-old Alton Reid was arrested and charged with murder.

On Monday, the Lucas County Coroner's Officer determined Saunders died from multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide.

Police later located a crime scene at 3817 Upton Avenue.

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. 

Sunday's shooting is continuing to be investigated. If you have any information, you are asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111.
