On December 18, 2023, 14-year-old Terrance Green was fatally shot near the intersection of Mulberry Street and Bronson Avenue in Toledo, Ohio. Responding officers discovered Green and two other teenage victims, all suffering from gunshot wounds. Green was transported to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy by the Lucas County Coroner's Office confirmed that Green died from multiple gunshot wounds, ruling his death a homicide.
In the days following the incident, Toledo police identified two suspects: 24-year-old Jermaine Johnson and 26-year-old Makala Anderson. Both were charged with premeditated aggravated murder. Anderson was arrested and held on a $1 million bond, while Johnson remained at large, prompting the U.S. Marshals Service to offer a $5,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Johnson was eventually apprehended on February 28, 2024, in south Toledo.
Subsequent legal proceedings culminated on October 1, 2024, when Johnson pleaded guilty to reduced charges. He was sentenced to 39 years in prison for his role in the shooting that killed Green and wounded two others. Anderson's case proceeded separately, with details of her trial and sentencing not specified in the available sources. The tragic death of Terrance Green underscores the profound impact of gun violence on the Toledo community.
