Nicholas Nick Linke was 20 when he was shot in Toledo on September 8, 2012, and later died at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. Born November 16, 1991, in Oregon, Ohio, he attended Woodward High School and played in the marching band. Friends and family remembered him for his love of music, art, and people.

According to reports, Linke was shot in front of a store on Buckeye Street by 23-year-old Tyler Watson. After being shot, Linke tried to drive a short distance before crashing in the 1900 block of Ontario and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Watson was arrested and charged with murder; he entered an Alford plea and on April 9, 2013 was sentenced to 18 years to life for the killing. The family asked that memorial contributions be made to the March of Dimes.

Does anyone have memories of Nick, knew where he spent time in Toledo, or information about the shooting that could help fill in unanswered details?
