Ohio — An Ohio sheriff’s deputy died after responding to a domestic violence call and being allegedly shot by the man inside the home.
Brian Michael Wilson, 53, was charged with aggravated murder following Monday’s violent confrontation that resulted in the shooting death of Morrow County Sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Sherrer, 31.
According to court documents obtained by local NBC affiliate WLWT, Sherrer responded to calls about a domestic disturbance at Wilson’s home on Memorial Day. The 4-year sheriff’s department veteran was allegedly met with gunfire upon arrival.
Sherrer’s body camera reportedly captured the alleged confrontation with Wilson that preceded his death. According to WLWT, Sherrer approached Wilson’s house, where the suspect was sitting on his front porch, allegedly armed and warning the deputy, “Don’t come up here,” and “Don’t f—ing come around that corner, I will f—ing kill you.”
When Sherrer ignored his warning, Wilson continued to spew vulgarities and threats at him, saying, “I’m not f—ing playing, you better just f—ing go if you want your family to see you tomorrow,” and “Get the f— out of here now.”
Sherrer reportedly continued to try to communicate with Wilson, who then allegedly opened fire on the deputy. According to court documents obtained by the Columbus Dispatch, Wilson allegedly used two handguns, both of which were found on the scene.
According to the documents, Sherrer’s body camera captured audio of the “clicks” of one of Wilson’s guns, which he allegedly fired until his ammunition ran out.
According to court documents, one of Wilson’s neighbors informed police that the suspect had said earlier that night, “I don’t want you around this. I do not want you to get involved. If I died tonight, I would be fine with it.”
According to the Columbus Dispatch, Wilson has a criminal history dating back to the 1990s, including a 2009 arrest for domestic violence in his former home in Marion County, Ohio.
Wilson was also shot by police during the alleged incident and transported to the hospital in critical condition. A warrant was issued for his arrest on aggravated murder charges.
