Alex Day, 31, of Toledo, Ohio, was shot in front of Byrneport Apartments in south Toledo on November 3, 2020. He was found with life-threatening injuries, taken to a hospital, and died the next day. The coroner ruled the death a homicide, listing a gunshot wound to the head as the cause.
A suspect, Trevonne Darrington, was charged in connection with Day’s death on September 16, 2021, and later indicted. Darrington was acquitted of murder and felonious assault by a jury on March 2, 2023, which found the evidence insufficient to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. Day is survived by his mother, Alicia Darlene Aiken-Day, several siblings, and his children A’miyah Shanelle Day, Alex Brandon Mykal Day Jr., and Aleyah London Day.
Anyone who knew Alex, witnessed the shooting, or has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
