In the early hours of May 30, 2025, a domestic dispute in Marysville, Ohio, escalated into a violent confrontation, resulting in a police-involved shooting. Officers responded to a call on White Oak Court around 2:16 a.m., where they encountered a 29-year-old male suspect. Upon arrival, the suspect fired multiple shots at the officers from inside his vehicle, prompting a pursuit that extended onto U.S. Route 33.
The suspect fled the scene, striking a Marysville police vehicle and several other cars during his escape. Law enforcement, including the Union County Sheriff's Office and Ohio State Highway Patrol, pursued the suspect until his vehicle became disabled near Northwest Parkway on U.S. 33. Upon exiting the vehicle with a firearm, a Union County deputy shot the suspect multiple times. He was transported to a Columbus hospital in critical condition.
A Marysville police officer sustained minor injuries during the initial exchange and was treated and released from a local hospital. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is overseeing the investigation, examining multiple scenes related to the incident. Authorities have not released the names of the suspect or the injured officer.
The suspect has been charged with attempted murder for shooting at Marysville police officers. Additional charges may be pending as the investigation continues.
This incident marks the third officer-involved shooting in central Ohio within a week, raising concerns about escalating violence against law enforcement. Community members have expressed shock and concern over the frequency of such events, emphasizing the need for increased support and resources for both officers and civilians affected by these incidents.
