DeAsia Green, 15, Earlier report missing found shot to death
TOLEDO, Ohio — Authorities in Ohio have reported that a 15-year-old girl who had been reported missing is dead after being shot. Her murder is being explored as a possible motive for her death. On Monday, the police got information that DeAsia Green, a 15-year-old freshman at Start High School who had been reported missing, had been shot. Officers located her body in an alley in Toledo, where she had been found dead. The incident is being investigated by the police as a possible homicide, although they have not named any suspects at this time. At this moment, it is not possible to determine what led to the death of the young person.
Official statement made by authorities
According to statements made to investigators by her parents earlier in the month, DeAsia Green was reported missing. According to the police, she was a “habitual runaway,” but her parents had the impression that there was something unique about the fact that their daughter was gone this time. Her parents shared the information they had been given with a police search squad, which in turn directed investigators to the location where DeAsia Green’s body was discovered.
Investigation still ongoing
The identity of the girl, who is 15 years old, as the daughter of DeAndre Green, a guy whose murder in 2010 is still a mystery, was confirmed by authorities on Tuesday. WTVG covered his case on an episode of Case Files from the previous year. According to the statements made by the police, the dying of DeAsia’s father had nothing to do with her own passing.

As stated by the Akron Police Department, a 40-year-old male who was hospitalized after a gunshot that left a 4-year-old daughter dead on Friday night in Akron, Ohio, has passed away. Following the tragic police shooting of a Black man over two weeks ago, Akron has been rocked by protests. Following the incident on Friday, Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan stated at a news conference that “there is a lot of elevated tension in the city right now.”
The names of the two victims, Johnny L. Gaiter and Journei Tolbert, who are both from Akron, were disclosed by the Summit County Medical Examiner’s office on Friday evening. Police were called to a complaint of gunfire on Princeton Street around 9:15 p.m., according to Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett. This week has been really challenging for Akron. According to a police press statement, Tolbert and Gaiter were found with serious gunshot wounds by several policemen who had arrived at a “chaotic scene.”
According to police, a party was being held nearby in a parking area when one or more unidentified suspects opened fire into the crowd. No arrests have been made, according to the announcement, which also stated that detectives were investigating the shooting’s circumstances and motivation. The deaths occur a few days after riots broke out in the city following the shooting death of Jayland Walker, 25, who was shot by eight police officers and sustained at least 60 gunshot wounds.
A gun was discovered in Walker’s car after the shooting, according to the police, who said that Walker fired what seemed to be a bullet out the window during the car chase. Walker, however, was killed while unarmed. Following the release of the shooting-related police body camera footage, Akron instituted a number of curfews. Out of an excess of caution, the city also decided to cancel its July Fourth fireworks display. Residents were urged to ease tension during the news conference on Friday night by the mayor, police chief, and local leaders.
