TOLEDO, Ohio — A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder after police say he shot and killed a man and injured two others on Sunday afternoon in west Toledo.
The shooting happened on at the Georgetown Village Apartments on Middlesex Drive in west Toledo on Sunday afternoon, according to Toledo Police.
Police say they found three people shot at an apartment just after 4:30 p.m.
The victims were identified as Alexander Padilla, 25, Paul Lis, 33 and Christopher Bazemore, 30.
Padilla died after being taken to the hospital. An autopsy showed he died from five gunshot wounds involving his neck, pelvis and upper extremities, according to the Lucas County Coroner's office.
Lis and Bazemore suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Police say the shooting suspect is as Verlando Woods, 27, who was taken into custody at the scene.
The shooting happened around 4:30 p.m.
Police searched multiple apartments before setting up crime scene tape around the scene.
Woods is being held on a $1 million bond. His pre-trial has been scheduled for Jan. 6.
On Monday, just 24 hours after the incident, the apartment complex was quiet, which is how management described as its "usual."
One resident said she didn't hear anything yesterday but became concerned when she looked out her window and saw two ambulances that had been sitting in front of her building.
"I went out of my apartment and came out here and then I saw two cops over there. I saw two go in but, like I said, I didn't hear much or see much because I don’t really want to go there,” resident Barbara Wooten said.
She said her roommate heard gunshots but she's glad she didn't and that it didn't happen in her building.
"Grant definitely did (hear gunshots), I know that for a fact. And if it was a gunshot closer to here, yeah, I would have heard it. All the way in the room, but it was all the way down there so," Wooten said.
Another apartment resident said she didn't know anything had happened until her stepdaughter told her, but she's thankful everyone in her family is safe and wasn't near the scene when it happened.
Sgt. Davis with Toledo Police said this is still an open case.
If you have any information on the shooting you are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111.
This is the 37th murder of 2019 in Toledo, just two days ahead of the new year.
There were 36 murders in Toledo last year.
