A 19-year-old man was killed and two people were wounded in a central Toledo shooting Friday night. Police say they believe the shooting may be gang-related and are still investigating.
A police crew heard gunshots just after 8:30 p.m. and responded to the area where they came from, near the intersection of Cherry and Bancroft streets.
Montrese Moore died a short time later at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.
Also shot were Creonna Ballard, 18, and Robee Ware, 19. Their conditions were unavailable, but police said both were expected to survive.
According to authorities, the victims were in a gas station parking lot at 1530 Cherry Street when "a vehicle pulled in and stopped. The occupants spoke with one victim and then opened fire."
Moore's killing marks the sixth homicide in Toledo so far this year, and the third this week. Killed earlier in the week were Ed R. Taylor III, 27, of Toledo in a shooting and Tiffany Wilborn, 23, who was stabbed.
