Charles Marshall, 38, was found with a gunshot wound on September 10, 2022, in the 600 block of Platt Street in East Toledo, Ohio. Emergency responders took him to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center, where he later died. The Lucas County Coroner’s Office determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the groin that pierced the femoral artery and ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Justin Allison as a suspect. Witness testimony, video and physical evidence reportedly showed Allison exiting a vehicle, approaching Marshall, and firing multiple shots that struck him in the groin. A murder warrant for Allison was issued October 20, 2022, and he was arrested the next day. In May 2023 Allison entered an Alford plea to murder and in June 2023 a Lucas County judge sentenced him to life with the possibility of parole after 15 years.

Marshall, born October 20, 1983, was known to family and friends as Chuck. He was preceded in death by his father, his maternal grandfather and several aunts and uncles, and is survived by his mother, grandmother, siblings, nephews, nieces and other relatives and friends who cherished him.
