Police descend on west Toledo neighborhood after person shot

Toledo police say a man was shot in the leg multiple times at a home on N. Cove Blvd. Last year, a memorial was held at the home for a 7-month-old shooting victim.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo police say a person was shot on Saturday evening at a home in a west Toledo neighborhood.

A large number of Toledo police officers and other emergency vehicles descended on the neighborhood just before 8 p.m.

TPD said a male was shot in the leg multiple times and has non-life-threatening injuries.

A police report from Sunday morning says Jason Hunt was the victim of felonious assault at that address. The incident occurred at 7:46 p.m..

Multiple police cruisers were gathered on the street and Toledo police officers were seen entering a house on North Cove Boulevard just off of Monroe Street near the Jermain Meadow Nature area.

Over the course of the evening, Lucas Canine Care and Control officers also entered the house and removed three dogs.

Police said a large number of people were at the home. 

Councilman John Hobbs III was also on the scene of the incident.

Hobbs said he had attended a memorial in the area of a child who was killed.

"It is just not the responsibility of our police to try to get those to put the guns down. We all have to reach one, teach one," Hobbs said. "Please put these guns down and let’s not have a violent summer, not again."

Just over a year ago in April 2022, a memorial was held at the home for Desire Hughes, the 7-month-old girl who was killed after being shot days before.
