On July 5, 2025, four homicides occurred over a 24-hour period during a holiday weekend in Toledo—police are searching for the shooters in three of the cases, including the fatal shootings of Salvador Ruiz and Amir Thomas-Clair who were shot minutes apart.

Toledo police said early this morning several people were injured in a shooting outside a sports bar on Matzinger Road — multiple victims were taken to area hospitals.

Police investigated a homicide after 20-year-old Salvador Ruiz was found shot inside a vehicle near Platt and 1st streets shortly after midnight—minutes later, officers found 20-year-old Amir Thomas-Clair shot in a crashed car on Nevada Street, and another victim was hospitalized in critical condition.

Joseph Fox was cited for hitting a tricycle bike carrying three children and fleeing the scene—he is held in Erie County jail on no bond and two of the children were seriously injured.
