Ohio Deputy Killed in Domestic Call Shooting: 'He Will Be Missed'

May 27, 2025
Morrow County Sheriff's Deputy Daniel Weston Sherrer, who had been with the agency since 2021, was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call in Marengo.

"You will never hear his name come from my lips," Hinton said during a press conference.

Sherrer, 31, had served with the sheriff's office since May 2021, according to the agency. He is survived by his parents. 

"I share in the anguish experienced by so many in this tight-knit community — my prayers are with Deputy Sherrer’s family, the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office and all who wear the badge," Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said in the statement, according to the Dispatch.

The shooting is being reviewed by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
