Thirty-three-year-old Tina Rochelle Stallworth was at her apartment located on Warren Street in Toledo, Ohio on the evening of March 22nd, 2001. Sometime during that night, unknown assailant(s) fired shots into the residence from outside. One bullet struck Tina, inflicting a fatal gunshot wound.
Emergency responders, initially dispatched by fire personnel responding to reports of an unconscious person, arrived to find the woman deceased at the scene. Toledo Police Department officers were called in, confirming the homicide.
There was no indication of forced entry into the apartment, and the shots appeared targeted or random from exterior, consistent with a drive-by or targeted shooting through windows or walls. The victim was pronounced dead by fire personnel before police fully secured the scene.
Tina Stallworth was a mother to nine children, and tragically, the violence did not end with her death; later reports connected family members to other incidents of violence, including a 2006 case where a young grandson (son of one of her children) was slain.
No motive has been publicly confirmed, whether personal, random, or tied to broader community issues in early 2000s Toledo. Police sought leads immediately after the shooting, but no breakthroughs were reported in follow-up coverage; no suspects, persons of interest, or arrests have been publicly named in available records.
Over two decades later, the case remains open and unsolved.
