Daniel Drake was 20 when he was found with at least one gunshot wound in the 900 block of Hamilton Street in central Toledo on September 22, 2016. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Born February 11, 1996, to Laura Johnson and Allen Darnell Drake, Daniel graduated from Scott High School in 2014 and was studying to be a mechanic at Owens College. He loved sports — football, basketball and baseball — and had a passion for cars.

Police arrested 24-year-old Marcus Harris of Toledo and charged him with aggravated murder; court proceedings revealed Harris shot and killed Daniel. The case drew attention to rising homicide rates in Toledo and underscored the role community cooperation played in the investigation. Who knew Daniel or saw activity on Hamilton Street that day and can help fill gaps in the timeline?
