Elmer Winters, 56, faces murder and felonious assault charges in Toledo after his arrest in Minneapolis. His arrest ends a months-long manhunt for a suspect in the fatal April shooting of Leon Oldham on Bronson Avenue, according to Toledo police records.
Winters was taken into custody in Minneapolis on Aug. 21, 2026, court and police records show. He appeared in a Toledo courtroom Friday, where a judge set bail at $5.1 million and continued the case to Sept. 28.
Oldham, 44, was found dead on a sidewalk in the 100 block of Bronson Avenue on April 28, 2026. The block sits near Central and Lagrange streets in Toledo.
Relatives of Oldham previously told 13 Action News that he was a father and a loyal person. They described him as devoted to family.
He was a father and loyal person, his loved ones said.
The charges against Winters include murder and felonious assault. Both counts stem from the fatal shooting of Oldham.
It remains unclear when Winters will be extradited to Toledo to face the charges in court. Court records do not list an extradition date.
Felony murder and felonious assault cases in Ohio typically move from arraignment to pretrial hearings before a trial date is set. A defendant returned to a county jail usually waits for those hearings in custody.
The case is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 28 in Toledo. No further court dates have been posted in available records.
