Man sues for $20 million after Old West End shooting charges dropped
Attorneys for Eljay Crisp-Carr, who was accused of participating in a gunfight at the Old West End Festival in June, have filed a $20 million federal lawsuit against the city of Toledo and Lucas County after prosecutors dropped the charges against him Friday. The complaint, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Western Division, alleges unconstitutional arrest, detention and searches, malicious prosecution, misleading identification evidence, and failure to disclose information concerning another suspect. Crisp-Carr is seeking $10 million in compensatory damages and an additional $10 million in punitive damages. On Friday, Jennifer Liptack-Sutphin, the chief of criminal prosecution for the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office, told Judge Lori Olender in Lucas County Common Pleas Court that because of “new and developing evidence,” the charges against Crisp-Carr, 20, should be dismissed. The shooting happened in front of the Agnes Reynolds Jackson Arboretum at Delaware and Robinwood avenues, a busy part of the festival where several food trucks were parked. During a June 18 court hearing , Toledo Police Detective Danielle Mooney estimated there were at least 75 to 100 other people in the proximity of the gunfire.

Man accused in fatal shooting outside Toledo homeless shelter found incompetent to stand trial
A man accused of killing another man outside St. Paul’s Community Center late last year has been found incompetent to stand trial in Lucas County Common Pleas Court. Judge Ian English on Tuesday ordered Al Alim Zaki-El, 58, transferred to Northwest Ohio Behavioral Healthcare’s Toledo campus after two doctors’ reports advised a “substantial probability” exists that he could be restored to competency within a year if provided a course of mental-health treatment. Mr. Zaki-El was arrested Jan. 26 for the Dec. 26 shooting death of Andrew Shively, 36, outside the homeless shelter on 13th Street. Authorities said upon his arrest that he lived in Detroit, although the Feb. 4 indictment charging him with alternative counts of murder and felonious assault listed his residence as St. Paul’s. The judge’s order followed reports submitted to the court Sept. 20 by Timothy Wynkoop and Sunday by Dr. Jonathan Sirkin that found Mr. Zaki-El incapable of assisting with his own defense. The judge continued Mr. Zaki-El’s bond at $1.25 million and directed the hospital to advise the court if his condition deteriorates.

Beverly development decision delayed after community testimony
Final approval was postponed Thursday on a plan from Maumee Valley Habitat Humanity to build nine houses on a South Toledo lot. “Would you consider deferring this case for 60 days so that you can ... not just go to previously scheduled meetings, but actually work with the plan commission staff to schedule a public meeting specifically about this project?” Brandon Rehkopf, chairman of the Toledo City Plan Commission, asked the CEO of the nonprofit. “Let the neighborhood come and answer questions and then consider based on the feedback if there are any potential amendments in this plan for this body to consider,” he said. The plan commission’s meeting Thursday was conducted before a pretty close to full house of attendees at One Government Center. Many attending the meeting were residents of the Beverly neighborhood where the houses are set to be built. The project is on the site of the old Beverly Elementary School at 4022 Rugby Dr. That building was torn down in 2012 and the land has been vacant since. Of the nine houses, two would be sold on the open market while the other seven would be sold to Habitat homeowners through the organization’s homeownership program.
