On the evening of June 17, 2022, gunshots at a duplex on Montgomery Avenue in Ashland, Kentucky led police to a double homicide. Eighteen-year-old Summer Algarakhuly and her 20-year-old sister Selina Easter were found inside the residence, both dead of multiple gunshot wounds. Summer’s infant child was discovered at the scene unharmed.

A suspect, 32-year-old John Tooson, was located in Toledo, Ohio the next day after barricading himself in a residence and shooting himself during a standoff with police. He survived, was returned to Kentucky, and was charged with two counts of murder, first-degree wanton endangerment for leaving the infant at the scene, and theft of an automobile. Authorities did not immediately describe the relationship between Tooson and the sisters.

Did anyone in the Ashland or Toledo area know of a connection between the suspect and the victims?
