Mario Kea II was 27 when he was found behind a home on Pontiac Street in Toledo on July 21, 2021, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to St. Vincent Medical Center but died at 8:10 p.m.; the incident was reported to Toledo police at 7:43 p.m. Detectives identified Treashia Lampkin, 33, as a person of interest.

Lampkin initially told police she was alone when confronting Kea about an issue with their children, but video evidence and witness statements showed a man got out of Lampkin’s vehicle and shot Kea. Lampkin was arrested and charged with obstructing justice; she was booked into the Lucas County Corrections Center and arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court. The investigation remains ongoing and police have asked the community for information. Kea is survived by his father Mario Kea, daughters Amarhiana Kea and Skye Marie Kea, and his sister Alexis, and is remembered by family and friends for his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to his family.

If anyone has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
