Dennis Washington, 50, was one of two people shot on October 28, 2022, on Junction Avenue in central Toledo. He and 67-year-old Gino Highsmith were found with critical gunshot wounds, taken to hospital, and later pronounced dead. Two other people, Donyel Forrest, 47, and Shakeia Johnson, 34, were shot in the same incident and survived.

Toledo police describe the case as a double homicide and had not announced arrests or named suspects. The two deaths were recorded as the city’s 50th and 51st homicides for 2022. The shooting has intensified community calls for more police presence and neighborhood revitalization efforts led in part by the Junction Coalition.
