Toledo, OH - A man shot by police Tuesday morning in south Toledo has died from his injuries, according to the Lucas County Coroner's Office.

The coroner's office identified the man as 22-year-old Zachary Reed. The coroner's office said Reed was declared dead "several hours later" after being shot in a parking lot on Airport Highway. The death was ruled a homicide from "multiple firearm injuries."

According to Toledo police, officers met with a complainant around 7:05 a.m. at the Scott Park District Station, who reported that he needed help with removing an armed person from his apartment. Police said the complainant also said he believed the person had a warrant for robbery.

TPD said officers found Reed leaving the Brookview Apartments before he fled and eventually crashed at 3115 Airport Highway.

According to police, Reed remained in the car after the crash but said that "officers could see that he was armed with a gun in his hand."

Police said the initial responding officers began negotiations with Reed before the Critical Incident Negotiation Team responded and took over communication with him for approximately 30 minutes.

Police claim Reed later pointed the gun out of the car at officers, and officers then shot him. It is unclear how many officers fired their weapons and how many shots were fired.

Reed was taken to an area hospital for treatment, police said. According to police, one officer suffered a minor injury during the incident.
