Toledo Blade
The woman who was apparently killed along with a man in a central Toledo home Thursday night leaves behind a 2-year-old son.
The deaths of Andrew Baker and Tanja Cathey, both 28, are being investigated as homicides, according to Toledo police.
Ms. Cathey gave birth April 10, 2009, at Bay Park Community Hospital, to a boy, with Mr. Baker being the father, according to court records. Police placed the child, who lived in the house, in the care of a grandmother.
Toledo fire department crews were dispatched to a two-story brick house in the 2200 block of Sanford Street about 6:40 p.m. on a report of two people unconscious there.
Police were called to help and, when they arrived, were told by fire crews that two people were dead in the house.
Mr. Baker’s body was found in a pool of blood on the living room floor, police said. Ms. Cathey’s body was found on an upstairs bed.
Friday morning the street was deserted and littered with garbage, with no signs of activity inside the house.
In 2010, Baker was charged with assault after he allegedly punched Cathey. The charges, which were filed at Toledo Municipal Court, were dropped.
In 2011, there have been 22 homicides recorded in the metro area, 17 of them occurred in Toledo.
