John Toyer, 74, was fatally shot on March 10, 2021, in the parking lot of a Mobil station at Detroit and Central avenues in Toledo, Ohio. He was in his vehicle at a pump when shots were fired from a passing vehicle. Toyer was treated at the scene and taken to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, where he died.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of two suspects: Javontay Johnson, 20, and a 15-year-old, who were charged with murder and felonious assault. The shooting occurred during a suspect stop by the Toledo Police Gang Task Force. The vehicle that fired the shots fled but was later found to be stolen; the suspects were located after a brief pursuit and foot chase.

The involvement of a juvenile drew attention, and the community and Toyer’s family were deeply affected. Does anyone have information about the shooting or Toyer’s movements that evening?
