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. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
