The shootings occurred about 2:50 a.m. Dec. 17 in the 500 block of Platt Street, in houses facing each other, Toledo police said.

Police responding to a report of a person shot arrived about 3 a.m. and found that Dana Frison, 38, of 512 Platt had been killed and James Lawrence, 19, had suffered a leg wound in the house at 511 Platt.
