Accident – Death – Obituary News :
In a tragic incident in Euclid, Ohio, a police officer was shot and killed after responding to a disturbance call on Saturday night. Officer Jacob Derbin, who had been with the department for less than a year, was ambushed and shot while investigating the scene. He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries, according to WOIO.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office has vowed to bring the perpetrator to justice, with Attorney General David Yost expressing his deep sorrow at the loss of Officer Derbin. Yost stated, “The promise to protect is signed with the blood of our officers. The killer who ambushed Officer Derbin will be found and will receive the full measure of justice.”
The Euclid Police Department, along with other law enforcement agencies, is actively searching for the suspect, identified as 24-year-old Deshawn Anthony Vaughn. The department is urging the public to keep Officer Derbin’s family, loved ones, and colleagues in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Euclid’s Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer Gail has called for unity and support within the community in the wake of this tragedy. She emphasised the importance of coming together to honour Officer Derbin’s sacrifice and to uphold the values of compassion, resilience, and community spirit.
As the investigation continues, more details about the incident and the ongoing search for the suspect will be released in due course. The Euclid Police Department remains determined to bring justice for their fallen colleague and to ensure the safety of the community.
This heartbreaking loss serves as a reminder of the dangers that law enforcement officers face every day in their commitment to serving and protecting their communities. The sacrifice made by Officer Derbin will not be forgotten, and his memory will be honoured during Police Memorial Week.
