Isaiah Omar Austin was 26 when he was fatally shot on June 29, 2016, in Toledo, Ohio. Known to family as Bubble and to others as Zeek, he was a boxer, a son and brother, and the father of two daughters. He was found with at least one gunshot wound while sitting in a vehicle in the 1200 block of South Avenue in south Toledo in the early hours of that morning.

Authorities later identified 28-year-old Ocolar Macklin as the suspect. A Lucas County Grand Jury indicted Macklin; he was arrested on July 13, 2016, and ultimately entered a plea that resulted in a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 18 years. The family accepted the plea to avoid a lengthy trial and to gain closure.

Isaiah’s death was one of several homicides in Toledo that year and left his family mourning his smile, laugh, and devotion to his children. If anyone knew Isaiah, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
