Catherine Justine Craig, a 28-year-old woman from Toledo, Ohio, tragically passed away on July 31, 2022. Born on March 29, 1994, Catherine was known for her vibrant personality and her dedication to her career as a dental hygienist. She was also a loving mother to her son, Devonne DJ Fegan Jr., who was the light of her life.
On the night of her death, Catherine was driving on North Detroit Avenue in central Toledo when her car was shot multiple times.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital but succumbed to her injuries. An autopsy revealed that she died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen, and her death was ruled a homicide.
The investigation led to the arrest of two suspects, Steven Weaver, 22, and Demond Allen, 21. Both were charged with Catherine's murder. Weaver was later arrested in Houston, Texas, while Allen was apprehended in Toledo. A third suspect, Daevon Higgs, was also wanted for the crime but was found shot and killed shortly after Catherine's death.
The case has been a significant one for the Toledo community, with the trial for Weaver and Allen beginning in September 2024. The prosecution argued that Catherine was not the intended target, but rather caught in a retaliatory shooting. The trial is ongoing, and the community continues to seek justice for Catherine Craig.
Catherine's death has left a profound impact on her family, friends, and the community, who remember her for her kindness, dedication, and love for her son.
