Phillip Wayne Cunningham III was 18 and a student at Start High School when he was found dead on April 25, 2022, at a home in the 2200 block of Lagrange Street in Toledo. His death was ruled a homicide after he was found with a gunshot wound to the head. Phillip had been preparing to graduate from the Skyway Career Prep High School Program and was remembered for his humor, love of cooking and sports, and for spending time with friends and family; he was especially fond of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

An arrest was made in connection with the killing: a 20-year-old Toledo man, Amir Hashim, was charged with Phillip’s murder and related offenses. The case attracted attention in the community because of the violence of the incident and the loss of a young person who was about to graduate.
