The suspect who allegedly shot and killed a Euclid Police officer was found deceased in a Shaker Heights apartment building. A SWAT team had assembled at an apartment complex and a heavy police presence had descended on the scene, 3News reported.

After being transported to University Hospital, the policeman passed away from his wounds, according to Cleveland News 5. The Ohio Attorney General's Office subsequently identified the officer as first-year Euclid Police Department officer Jacob Derbin.

The name of the suspect was Deshawn Anthony Vaughn. He was a 24 years old man, with brown eyes and black hair. The image that was released along with the Blue alert states that he was 215 pounds in weight and 6 feet 3 inches tall.

An apartment building in Shaker Heights that is located east of Lee Road along Van Aken Boulevard was the center of a major police enforcement investigation on Sunday afternoon. The deployment—which included a SWAT squad and a sizable police contingent—was evident and garnered media notice, particularly from WKYC.

After shooting the officer, Vaughn was last sen leaving the area. A white 2017 Volkswagen Passat with the OH plate R947155 was the car in question. Vaughn was thought to be armed and very dangerous, according to a statement from Euclid Police Department to Fox 8. According to WKYC, many law enforcement organizations helped Euclid Police find Vaughn. According to Fox 8, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation also supported the inquiry.

WKYC cameras recorded the early part of the operation at around 1:30 p.m., when police officers gathered at the location. At 2:10 p.m., SWAT members were seen putting on helmets and shields and getting ready to enter the residential building.

The fact that several law enforcement agencies were involved, including the U.S. Marshals, highlighted the scope and seriousness of the problem. Officers from all around Northeast Ohio came together to assist in carrying out the operation.
