On February 4, 2006, Toledo Police responded to a report of a shooting at a residential property located at 2412 Auburn Avenue in Toledo, Ohio. Upon their arrival, they discovered 41-year-old Othell Floyd lying on the garage floor with a gunshot wound to his chest. Emergency responders from the Toledo Fire Department transported Floyd to Toledo Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. The case was classified as a homicide, but as of today, it remains unsolved.
At the time of his death, Othell Floyd was reportedly working on repairing a transmission under a vehicle inside the garage. It was during this activity that an unknown individual entered the space and shot him. The investigation did not yield any immediate suspects, and authorities have not released details regarding possible motives. Despite efforts by local law enforcement, including multiple appeals for information from the public, the case has remained open and unsolved.
The residence at 2412 Auburn, where the incident occurred, was later demolished. The Toledo Police Department continues to seek leads in the hope of solving this case, and they have appealed to the public for any information that could help bring justice for Floyd's family and friends. The Ohio Attorney General's Office has a dedicated page for Othell Floyd’s case, urging anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist with the investigation.
