Colleen Jo Stamper was 19 when she and her boyfriend, 20-year-old Santiago Rease, were shot and killed in north Toledo on the night of January 11, 2018. Both victims suffered at least one gunshot wound and were pronounced dead at the scene. The incident was at first investigated as a possible robbery.

Colleen was born September 28, 1998, to Steven Stamper and Rosa Smith. A 2016 graduate of Woodward High School, she had been active in the National Honor Society and played volleyball, basketball, and softball; she was Homecoming Queen in 2015. At the time of her death she worked in the YMCA TPS afterschool program and as an STNA at Otterbein Rehab and was a nursing student at Owens Community College.

In April 2018 a Lucas County grand jury indicted Ricky Thompson, 19, and Sidney Slater, 27, on aggravated murder charges in the deaths of Rease and Stamper; both men also faced aggravated burglary and related counts and were held in the Lucas County Jail awaiting trial. The case drew attention from local leaders about gun violence in Toledo.

Did anyone in the community know Colleen or have information about the night of January 11, 2018?
