OHIO — Toledo police are investigating a second homicide following an overnight shooting that occurred early Saturday in the city’s east side.
Officers responded shortly after midnight to the 1700 block of Nevada Street, where they found a vehicle that had crashed.
Inside, they discovered 20-year-old Amir Thomas-Clair suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital, where he later died.
A second person inside the vehicle was also shot and remains in critical condition. A third occupant was not injured.
