Court records obtained by our news partners, WBNS, showed Sherrer arrived at the address in Marengo and spoke with a neighbor. They said the suspect, 53-year-old Brian Wilson, had a gun and shot it multiple times.
Sherrer went to Wilson's house and found him sitting on the porch with a firearm in his hand. The 54-year-old allegedly told him not to come onto the porch.
WBNS reported that Sherrer attempted to talk to Wilson in an effort to de-escalate the situation.
Court documents state Sherrer could be seen on body camera video stepping back as Wilson threatened to kill him if he came around the corner.
Sherrer continued to try and de-escalate the situation, but Wilson allegedly threatened him again.
The affidavit obtained by WBNS then stated Wilson went up to Sherrer, who was standing on the stairs, and gunfire was exchanged.
Sherrer was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.
Wilson was also shot and suffered serious injuries. He's since been charged with aggravated murder.
The 31-year-old was a four-year veteran with the sheriff's office. This was his first law enforcement job.
Sherrer is survived by his fiancée and parents, his obituary said.
A candlelight vigil will also be held at the Morrow County Sheriff's Office at 8:30 p.m. on June 5.

Where does Wisconsin legend Russell Wilson rank in PFF's 2025 NFL quarterback ranking?
Former Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson enters the 2025 campaign set to lead yet another new franchise. After guiding the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 6-5 mark and Wild Card playoff berth as a starter in 2024, Wilson signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract with the New York Giants in late March. Following the 2025 NFL draft, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters the organization will lean toward Wilson, a 14-year veteran, as its starter for the 2025 slate. Advertisement While he may not boast the same repertoire he did during his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson's veteran leadership and experience in the NFL situates him as a presence in a crowded Giants quarterback room. The team also signed Jameis Winston this offseason, plus moved up to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart No. 25 overall in April's draft. In ProFootballFocus' recent ranking of all starting quarterbacks ahead of the 2025 season, the outlet placed each passer in one of six tiers. Wilson landed at No. 27 on the list and in tier No. 5, titled 'Veterans capable of solid play but could be quickly replaced.' Sam Darnold (Seattle Seahawks) earned the No. 26 spot and Justin Fields (New York Jets), who played alongside Wilson in Pittsburgh a season ago, came in at No. 28 in the tier. Here's what the ProFootballFocus staff wrote about Wilson ahead of his next football chapter: Advertisement "The clock is ticking on Wilson's career. Now 36, he no longer has the mobility that once defined his game, and that limits his ceiling. He still grades well and posted a 79.5 overall mark in 2024, but he struggles to generate the efficiency needed to sustain a high-level offense. With the Giants selecting Jaxson Dart in the first round, head coach Brian Daboll may not hesitate to turn to the rookie if Wilson can't deliver wins early in the season." Dart, Winston and former starter Tommy DeVito all fall behind Wilson in New York's quarterback room. Each could see action if Wilson struggles. The Giants' 2025 schedule is widely considered the most difficult in the NFL, so there could be a shift to either Dart or Winston if New York struggles early and often. With the Steelers, Wilson logged 2,482 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions, plus 43 carries, 155 rushing yards and two rushing scores, finishing the year with his first winning season as a starter since 2020. The season culminated in a 28-14 first-round playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens in January. Advertisement The former Badger ignited his NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012, where he went 104-53-1 in 10 years as the team's starter and 9-7 in the postseason. He finished his Seahawk career with 158 starts, 65% completion, 37,059 passing yards, 262 touchdowns, 87 interceptions and a pair of Super Bowl appearances. The dynamic playmaker also logged 846 carries, 4,689 rushing yards and 23 rushing touchdowns during the most productive portion of his career. The Giants begin the 2025 regular season with a test against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium on Sept. 7, 2025.
