Seventeen-year-old Nareon Grier was shot and killed on September 11, 2020, in west Toledo. Grier, a junior at Start High School and a member of the Spartans basketball team, was at a home on the 2600 block of Calverton Road when he was shot. He was driven to a hospital in a private car but died shortly after arrival; an autopsy listed a gunshot wound to the chest and his death was ruled a homicide.

Police executed a search warrant at the Calverton Road home and recovered a spent shell casing, two phones, a bullet, a bag, a magazine, a .380 pistol, a 9 mm pistol, and a vest. A 15-year-old was arrested at home and charged with reckless homicide; the case remains under investigation. Hundreds attended a vigil for Grier and his grandmother, Tina Butts, spoke about community support and the need to protect children.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Nareon, please come forward.
