Aiden Toussaint was 17 when he was shot and killed near Saucon Park in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on September 29, 2020. The shooting happened around 9:30 p.m.; Toussaint was pronounced dead about an hour later at St. Luke’s Hospital–Fountain Hill. The Lehigh County coroner ruled his death a homicide.

Bethlehem police arrested three people after the shooting: Gabriel Ramos, 18, of Lehighton, and two juveniles. Ramos was charged with criminal homicide, conspiracy, possessing instruments of a crime, unlawful possession of a firearm, robbery, and simple assault. The juveniles were charged with homicide, conspiracy, and robbery; one also faced a felony charge for criminal use of a communications facility. All three were charged as adults and held without bail while the investigation continued.

The community held a candlelight vigil where family members, including his mother Claudette Pottinger and father Jacques Toussaint, spoke. Toussaint was remembered as a hard-working, generous young man who wrestled and had plans to enlist in the U.S. Air Force and study law. Does anyone have information about the night of September 29, 2020, or about Toussaint’s last movements?
