Kenneth Veley was 16 when he was found dead in a driveway on East Central Avenue in Toledo, Ohio, on June 11, 2018. His body was discovered about 9:00 a.m. and Toledo Fire & Rescue personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. Earlier that morning, at about 12:22 a.m., police had been called after three gunshots were heard near Elm and Central; officers could not find a victim then and investigators are working to determine whether those shots are connected to Kenneth’s death.

Police reported bullet holes in the side of a car near where Kenneth’s body was found and shell casings were recovered at the scene. No suspects have been identified or taken into custody and detectives continue to gather evidence. Kenneth was described by family as athletic and close with a group of friends his mother called the Fat Albert Crew; his father, Charles Veley, had previously biked to Los Angeles to advocate against gun violence after the earlier loss of another son.

Anyone with information that could help investigators is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 255-1111.
