Three shootouts led to law enforcement death, injuries last week: where they all stand now
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A sheriff's deputy was killed and three other officers injured in three separate shootings last week across central Ohio. Since last Monday – Memorial Day – there have been three separate shootouts between police and suspects. Most recently, Dustin Ohm, 29, was charged with attempted murder after allegedly opening fire on Marysville Police officers early Friday morning, then again on the median of U.S. Route 33 after a car chase. One officer was treated and released from the hospital; Ohm remains hospitalized. On Wednesday, two Mifflin Township police officers were shot after a traffic stop turned into a chaotic foot chase. Then, a two-day manhunt for the suspect ended with multiple arrests. Davenote Dixon, 21, is charged with attempted murder and is hospitalized after suffering what police said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. In addition, Jayla Call, 31, is in jail without bond on felony charges for allegedly hiding Dixon at her apartment; she is scheduled to appear in court on Monday. On Memorial Day last Monday, Morrow County Sheriff's deputy Daniel Sherrer was shot and killed during a shootout with a man in Marengo. The suspect was hospitalized for four days and on Saturday, was released from the hospital and jailed. Sherrer's death was a killing that rocked the law enforcement and Morrow County communities. 'Just seeing the community come together for this blue line family, it's definitely really meaningful to see how much support they actually have,' Morrow County resident Abby Pence said Thursday at a candlelight vigil in Sherrer's honor. 'I've lived in Morrow County my whole life and just to hear about this incident that's happened, it's breathtaking and it's really heartbreaking to the community,' resident Jennifer Fisher said. A public visitation for Sherrer will take place Tuesday at Northmor High School in Galion from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. The next day, a public memorial will begin at 11 a.m. at the school followed by a private burial. 'Just a really deep, deep emotion of just thinking about his family and all of the officers that work here in Morrow County,' resident Cathy Brake said. The Morrow County Prosecutor's Office said the suspect, Brian Wilson, 53, is charged with aggravated murder, but will remain in Delaware County Jail for the duration of the judicial process due to the relationship Sherrer had with the jail staff in Morrow County, which was touched on by Morrow County Sheriff John Hinton. 'He came to work every day, he loved this community, he loved the job,' Hinton said last Tuesday. 'He was just a great guy. He will be missed.' According to the prosecutor's office, Wilson is set to have a court hearing either Monday or Tuesday, at which point, more details on the domestic violence call that led to Sherrer's death should come to light.

Marysville man charged with attempted aggravated murder in May 30 police shooting
Marysville police have identified the suspect they accuse of shooting at officers while they were responding to a domestic violence situation and whom a Union County sheriff's deputy subsequently shot multiple times. Dustin Edward Ohm, 29, of Marysville, has been charged with attempted aggravated murder and first-degree felony assault, according to a May 31 news release from Marysville police. Ohm will face more charges in connection with the shooting. Marysville officers responded at 2:16 a.m. May 30 to a report of a domestic dispute in the 900 block of White Oak Court, off Quail Hollow Drive and North Maple Street, police said previously. When officers arrived, police allege that Ohm pulled out a gun and shot at officers from his vehicle. The officers returned fire as Ohm drove from the scene, hitting a Marysville police cruiser with an officer inside as well as at least three other parked vehicles and a mailbox, police alleged. Marysville police, Union County sheriff's deputies and Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers chased Ohm west along U.S. Route 33. His vehicle broke down in the median of U.S. 33 near Northwest Parkway, where he got out of the vehicle holding a gun, police alleged. That's when a sheriff's deputy shot Ohm multiple times. Officers began rendering aid until Marysville Fire Department paramedics arrived and took him to a local hospital. He was later transferred to a Columbus hospital. His condition remained unknown as of May 31. Marysville police said one of their officers suffered an injury in the initial shooting, but they did not elaborate. The officer was treated at a local hospital and released. No other officers or deputies were hurt. Reporter Shahid Meighan can be reached at smeighan@ at ShahidMeighan on X, and at on Bluesky.
