Ja’Ermie Tyreece Spencer, a 34-year-old Black man from Toledo, died after being shot on April 16, 2021. The shooting happened about 7:40 p.m. on the 3500 block of Upton Avenue in West Toledo. He was one of two victims; the other, Jaime Aldaco, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene. Ja’Ermie was taken to ProMedica Toledo Hospital in critical condition and later succumbed to his injuries.

Both victims suffered at least one gunshot wound. Neighbors described the area as generally quiet and said residents had been at that house about a month, fixing it up. As of the reported updates, there have been no arrests and no suspects publicly identified; the Toledo police continue to investigate and are asking for information.

Ja’Ermie was remembered by family and friends as an aspiring artist who loved music, traveling, and spending time with loved ones. Does anyone in West Toledo recall seeing or hearing anything around Upton Avenue that night or have information that could help investigators?
