Authorities were notified by a passing truck driver, who noticed a person lying off the side of the road. The truck driver sounded his horn, then called 911, Dr. Hudson said Saturday.

The victim’s death marks the 29th homicide in Toledo so far this year.

Officers asked anyone with information, including the victim’s possible identity, to call the Crime Stopper program at 419-255-1111.
