Dakoda Kody Rogers, 25, was shot dead at a South Toledo gas station on November 20, 2017. Born August 28, 1992, he is remembered by his family as loving and protective; his mother Stacie Gorsuch has spoken about the deep grief his death caused.

Investigators concluded Lonzo Rivers, a Toledo resident, shot Dakoda. At trial Rivers said he acted in self-defense, claiming Dakoda was reaching for a gun. Prosecutors said Rivers arranged the meeting to ambush Dakoda over an alleged blackmail involving a sex tape. In February 2019 a jury convicted Rivers of murder (acquitting him of aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping) and he was sentenced to life with parole possible after 18 years. The conviction and sentence were later reviewed by the Supreme Court of Ohio.
