A Wood County grand jury has indicted a 22-year-old Toledo man on an involuntary manslaughter charge, alleging he supplied the fentanyl-related drug that killed a 50-year-old former Toledo Storm hockey player in April, the Sentinel-Tribune reported.

The grand jury returned the indictment against Riley Leu on Wednesday, Oct. 21, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

The charges are involuntary manslaughter, a first-degree felony; corrupting another with drugs, a second-degree felony; trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound, a fifth-degree felony; and trafficking in cocaine, a fifth-degree felony.

What the indictment alleges: on April 3, 2026, Leu furnished, administered or caused the man to use a fentanyl-related compound, and the man died April 4. It also alleges Leu trafficked in a fentanyl-related compound and in less than 5 grams of cocaine on April 3.

The man who died was a former Toledo Storm player; the Sentinel-Tribune did not publish his name, and this article does not name him.

In a separate case, Leu already faces a felonious assault charge, a second-degree felony, in a separate Wood County case, indicted in May. Bowling Green police were flagged down March 3 in the 100 block of North Main Street on a report of a man lying on his back, bleeding from his head and mouth; police said downtown camera footage showed a suspect approach the man from the side and punch him, knocking him backward into the street. Court documents say the man needed two head staples and reconstructive jaw surgery.

Leu failed to appear for a pretrial hearing in August; he was back in court in October on the failure-to-appear matter and bond was set at his own recognizance. A final pretrial in the assault case is set for Nov. 30, with a jury trial scheduled to begin Dec. 16.

An indictment is a formal charge, not a finding of guilt. Leu is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
