On November 26, 2023, at about 3:45 a.m., 30-year-old Denzel Herron was fatally shot near the intersection of Hill Avenue and South Reynolds Road in south Toledo, Ohio. Officers found Herron with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to the University of Toledo Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The Lucas County Coroner’s Office confirmed a single gunshot wound to the chest as the cause of death. The incident was recorded as Toledo’s 37th homicide for 2023.

Surveillance footage from an after-hours bar at the Reynolds and Hill Plaza reportedly shows the shooting took place during a dispute. Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with Herron’s death: 36-year-old Adrian Warren and 35-year-old William Kynard IV. Warren was indicted on counts including murder, felonious assault, and having weapons while under disability; Kynard was charged with murder while attempting to commit a first- or second-degree violent offense. Surveillance video from the club is said to corroborate the events leading to the shooting.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111. Does anyone have details about the dispute at the after-hours bar or saw activity near Reynolds and Hill that morning?
