Man dies after August triple-shooting at south Toledo bar

James Owens, 42, died Monday after being shot in the head Aug. 29. Two others were injured in the same shooting.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A man shot at a south Toledo bar in the early hours of Aug. 29, is now the city's latest victim of homicide.

Toledo police claim officers were called to a scene at the Recovery Room parking lot around 4 a.m. on Aug. 29, where they found two people who had been shot. A third victim tried to drive to a nearby Circle K gas station and was found in her vehicle.

All three victims were taken to the hospital. Police identified the victims as Ebony Hernandez, 43; James Owens, 42; and Danielle Houston, 35.

On Monday, one week after the shooting, Owens was pronounced dead at the hospital. 

The coroner's autopsy determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and ruled his death a homicide, according to a press release Tuesday.

Police tell WTOL 11 that no one is in custody and the investigation is ongoing.
