Man indicted in 2022 triple shooting that killed 18-year-old
Baker is also facing charges in a separate fatal shooting
TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - A 19-year-old was indicted Thursday in connection to a triple shooting that killed a man.
According to Toledo Police, a Lucas County Grand Jury indicted Keondre Baker, 19, on a homicide charge Thursday for the shooting that killed 18-year-old Ronald Thomas. He was already in police custody on a murder charge in a separate case from 2020.
Baker pleaded not guilty on Jan. 24. A judge set his bond at $900,000.
Police say the shooting happened around 4:00 a.m. on Oct. 29, 2022 near the intersection of Elliot and Grand in Toledo. Officers found Thomas suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He was dead at the scene.
Two others were also injured in the shooting and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Police say the victims were sitting in a car when the shots rang out.
Baker is also facing charges in another fatal shooting. He’s facing a murder charge for the death of 19-year-old James Smith Jr. Baker was 16 at the time of that shooting. Police say they found Smith suffering from at least one gunshot wound in the 100 block of Page in 2020. Smith was taken to an area hospital where he later died. Baker was arrested in that case in March 2023.
