Matthew Dugan, 34, was shot and killed during an armed robbery while working the night shift at a BP carryout and service station at Secor and Dorr Streets in Toledo on August 13, 2008. He had been employed by BP for about three months and also worked at Great Lakes Window Company. Court documents say Anthony Belton and two other men entered the store, demanded cash and prepaid phone cards, and that when Dugan handed over the items Belton shot him in the back of the head at close range.

Dugan fell behind the counter and was later discovered by a customer who called 9-1-1. Police found $600 and several prepaid phone cards missing and recovered a spent 9 mm shell casing near the scene. Belton was arrested, convicted of aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, and in 2009 was sentenced to death; the Ohio Supreme Court affirmed that sentence in 2016.

Does anyone have memories of the Secor and Dorr area in 2008 or information that could shed further light on this case?
