Multiple law enforcement agencies were assisting the Euclid Police Department in locating Vaughn, who was described as being around 6’3, 215 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Police believe Vaughn, who is a convicted felon and was wanted for violating conditions of his community supervision, fled the scene following the fatal shooting. 

On Sunday evening, WJW reported that the manhunt for Vaughn was over as he had been found deceased inside a residence.

Police told WJW he was heavily armed, and it is not yet clear how he died, but an investigation is ongoing. 

Euclid Police Chief Scott Meyer told WJW that Derbin was an “incredible” person and that the entire department was “devastated.”

“He was an amazing human being. Just a great heart. Had an incredible smile. The world’s a better place with him in it,” Meyer said.

Yost continued his post, sharing his condolences with the family of Derbin.

My heart burns with anger at this injustice, for the family of this young officer and the Euclid Police Department.” Derbin was in his first year with the department,” – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost
