TOLEDO, Ohio — A 32-year-old man was shot in the leg Wednesday afternoon while walking with a companion in East Toledo, police said, in another burst of daytime gun violence on the city’s east side.

Police were called to the intersection of Earl Street and Willow Avenue at 1:49 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, after a person was reported shot, according to The Blade. Officers found the man with a single gunshot wound to his leg. He told police he and his 32-year-old companion were walking in the 600 block of Leach Avenue when an unknown man ran up behind them and opened fire. The man was taken to Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center for treatment. His companion was not shot, police said.

Emergency dispatch audio captured the response as it unfolded: Medic 6 and Rescue 6 were sent to Willow and Earl just before 2 p.m., and a second person was later reported on Rogers Street near Earl and Navarre, according to the US Crime Radar dispatch transcript. Police have not released the victim’s name or said how serious his injuries are, and no arrest has been reported.

It is the latest shooting to rattle East Toledo, where residents have watched gun violence flare in broad daylight. Police are asking anyone who saw what happened — or who has video from the area — to come forward. Tips can be left anonymously with Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111.
