From the Toledo Blah 4/15......
2 killed in separate shootings overnight
A South Toledo man who immigrated here from Cuba died after being shot at close range by an unknown assailant Saturday night, and another man was killed during a reported disturbance behind a Monroe Street gas station early Sunday.
Raul Izquierdo, 36, of 324 Langdon St., was shot in the head at 11:54 p.m. Saturday in the front of 310 Langdon in the Old South End neighborhood, according to Toledo police and witnesses. Witnesses said the killer seemed intent on confronting Mr. Izquierdo. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
His brother, Santiago Izquierdo, Jr., 27, of 326 Langdon, was shot in the neck by the same person but was recovering Sunday at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center.
In the second shooting, Torian Tall, 25, whose most recent address was in the 700 block of Pinewood Street, was found behind a gas station at 3365 Monroe St. about 2:40 a.m. Sunday when police responded to a call of a man shot in central Toledo, police said. He was taken by Life Squad to Toledo Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Police Sgt. Joe Heffernan said Sunday there were no arrests made yet in either case.
Witnesses to the Izquierdo shooting said the assailant opened fire just after the two brothers, along with Santiago Izquierdo’s wife, Nieves, and a cousin, had returned to their block of Langdon from the Spigot Bar, which is located nearby on the other side of Western Avenue, where they had been for about 30 minutes to celebrate a birthday.
There have been nine homicides in the metro area this year, eight within the city of Toledo.
