Cause of Death : Unknown
Event : Killed on duty under contested circumstances
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Officer Jacob Derbin, 23, a rookie in Euclid PD was shot and killed on duty on May 11, 2024. Euclid Police Officer Derbin was fatally shot while responding to a domestic disturbance call. According to official reports, Derbin and fellow officers were investigating a complaint involving a woman who reported that her ex-boyfriend, Deshawn Vaughn, was threatening her and her mother. While checking the backyard of the residence, Derbin was ambushed and shot by Vaughn. Despite his injuries, Derbin managed to alert his colleagues to the suspect's location before succumbing to his wounds. Vaughn fled the scene and was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a standoff in Shaker Heights the following day.However, Derbin's mother, Dawn Derbin, has publicly contested the official narrative of her son's death. She has raised concerns about potential inconsistencies in the investigation, including the possibility of friendly fire and signs of a staged crime scene. Dawn alleges that crucial evidence has been withheld and that the trajectory of the bullets suggests alternative scenarios not addressed in the official reports. She has called for an independent investigation, appealing to former President Donald Trump and the U.S. Department of Justice to examine the circumstances surrounding her son's death and the conduct of the Euclid Police Department.Despite the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation presenting their findings to a grand jury, which resulted in no charges being filed, Dawn Derbin continues to seek transparency and accountability. She has expressed deep frustration over the lack of conclusive answers and has urged for a thorough re-examination of the case to ensure justice for her son. She has issued a press release appealing to President Trump to investigate the PD and circumstances of her son's death.

Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Suicide under police duress
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Washington State Police Officer Elias Huizar shot and killed his ex-wife and a teenage girl in front of their 9-year-old. The teenage girl was Angelica Santos, 17, who was his girlfriend. He had worked as a SRO officer at a school when he impregnated her, then aged 15. She bore his son who was 1 year old whom Huizar abducted after murdering his teenage girlfriend.
Even when it became known that he had raped at least 2 underage girls and one of them bore his child, he was merely fired from Yakima PD and rehired by the school where he remained, this time as substitute teacher, while not being incarcerated while awaiting his trial and living with the girl who was now 17 and their 1-year-old son.
He had been due in court for child rape for having impregnated the schoolgirl and also for raping her underage friend, when he went on a homicide spree, killing his ex-wife in front of their 9-year-old son and killing his 17-year-old live-in girlfriend. These deaths are not listed individually on this database because they occurred before police became involved in the fatal chase ending in the suicide of Huizar.
After killing his ex-wife and teenage girlfriend, Huizar fled, was chased by police and caught on the I-5 near Eugene, Oregon where he fled and ran into a commercial vehicle. When police approached the vehicle, he committed suicide under police duress. He had the 1-year-old boy he had stolen from his ex-wife with him when he died.
