Demajio Striker was 23 when she was found shot to death inside a vacant garage on Austin Street in North Toledo on February 8, 2017. Known in the community as JoJo, she was pronounced dead at the scene with at least one gunshot wound to the torso; the Lucas County Coroner’s Office confirmed her identity.

Toledo police initially reported no immediate suspects or motive. Family members described the loss as devastating, and Demajio’s mother, Shanda Striker, said the killing felt like a targeted act and called attention to the dangers faced by transgender people in the community.

Does anyone remember seeing JoJo in North Toledo around early February 2017 or have information that could help explain what led to this killing?
