James Smith Jr., 19, of Toledo, Ohio, was found with at least one gunshot wound near the Moody Manor apartment complex and Page Street on June 24, 2020. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries. His death came two days after his father, James Smith Sr., was shot and killed in east Toledo.

Investigators arrested and charged three juveniles in connection with the younger Smith’s death: Keondre Baker, then 16, was arrested and charged with murder in March 2020; Mytaveon Walls, then 15, was later indicted on two murder charges and a felonious assault count; and Kendall Hill, then 16, was also charged after a murder warrant was issued while he was in custody on an unrelated charge. Authorities asked anyone with information to come forward.

The killings drew attention to youth violence and gang activity in the area and their effects on families. If anyone knew James Jr., his movements that day, or has information about the shootings, please share what is known with investigators.
