He was involved in a fight before being shot outside a home on Stickney Avenue near East Hudson Street. Gregory was found with at least one gunshot wound and was taken to St. Vincent Medical Center, where he later died.
Following the incident, the Toledo Police Department launched an investigation.
On September 1, 2021, Phillip Henry, a 38-year-old man, was arrested and charged with Gregory's murder. Henry was taken into custody after consulting with the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office. The investigation revealed that Henry was responsible for Gregory's death, and he was subsequently charged with murder.
The case brought attention to the issue of gun violence in Toledo and led to calls for increased community safety measures. The arrest of Phillip Henry provided some closure to Gregory's family and friends, who remembered him as a loving husband, father, brother, son, and friend.
Gregory's death was a tragic loss for his family and the community, and the legal proceedings against Henry continued as the justice system sought to hold the perpetrator accountable for his actions.
