Martrece Dashawn Dobson, 30, known as Trece, was shot while sitting in a car at the corner of East Oakland Street and Franklin Avenue in north Toledo and died at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center on October 24, 2018. He left behind his mother, Tonya M. Dobson, his father, Quentin A. Player, and his children Aidynn, Martrece Jr. and Dominic Dobson.

Police found Dobson at the scene with at least one gunshot wound; he was taken to the hospital and did not survive. A Lucas County grand jury later indicted Rashad Gaines on a murder charge, and a Lucas County jury found Gaines guilty of murder in March 2022. The conviction closed a chapter in a case that underscored gun violence in Toledo and the community’s calls for action.

Did anyone who knew Martrece or his family see him that day or have information about the shooting?
