Fifteen-year-old Donald Hogan was fatally shot inside his Toledo home on February 3, 2023. Officers found him about 3:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Shasta Drive with at least one gunshot wound; he was taken to the University of Toledo Medical Center and later died. Preliminary investigation indicated Hogan was with another person he knew when a firearm was being handled unsafely and accidentally discharged. Toledo Police Sgt. Adam Fish described the incident as appearing to be an accident, and no charges had been filed as of the latest reports. Hogan’s family said they had moved from New Orleans to Toledo three years earlier; they described him as a promising young man who loved basketball and had improved academically. His death was noted as the fifth homicide in Toledo for 2023 and the third involving a teenager, prompting concern about juvenile access to firearms. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111.
