OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On August 8, 2025, 47-year-old Keith Johnson entered the KeyBank branch on Suder Avenue near Shoreland Avenue in Toledo and fired a round into the ceiling, creating an immediate armed crisis. Bank employees and customers were rapidly evacuated by officers as police secured the perimeter. Toledo Police units aggressively locked down the surrounding area, blocking traffic and controlling all access routes, while heavily armed officers moved in on the bank from multiple entry points.
Command coordinated with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, deploying specialized crisis negotiators to establish immediate communication and assess Johnson’s intent. Tactical officers entered the bank under ballistic cover, dominating the interior space with weapons trained on Johnson while issuing loud, clear commands to disarm and surrender.
Johnson placed his firearm to his own head and discharged it. Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is under joint investigation by the Toledo Police Department and the FBI, with evidence collection including ballistic analysis, witness interviews, and security camera footage review.
