Nathan Antonio Sumner was an 11-year-old boy from Toledo who was shot while playing basketball outside his home on the 300 block of Austin Street on August 20, 2021. He and his 14-year-old brother, Miguel, were both struck in the head; both were taken to hospital, and Nathan died two days later. Miguel survived but sustained permanent brain injuries.

Investigators arrested two suspects in connection with the shooting. Tyler Williams, 23, later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and discharge of a firearm near a prohibited premise and received a 20-year sentence; he was already serving a 10–13.5 year term for injuring Miguel in the same incident. A second defendant, Marquise Figures, who was 15 at the time, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and attempt to commit murder and was sentenced to 20–24 years.

The case drew attention in Toledo to gun violence and prompted calls for measures to prevent similar tragedies. If anyone knew Nathan or has information about the shooting, please share what you remember.
