Delaware State Police Thanks Public for Support During Dignified Transfer of Cpl/1 Matthew T. “Ty” Snook – Delaware State Police – State of Delaware
The Delaware State Police would like to thank the public, partnering agencies, and members of the law enforcement community for their overwhelming support and respect shown during today’s dignified transfer honoring Cpl/1 Matthew T. “Ty” Snook.
As Cpl/1 Snook was escorted with honor, members of the community lined roadways, stood in silence, and displayed messages of gratitude and support. The Delaware State Police are deeply grateful for the compassion shown to Cpl/1 Snook’s family and to the women and men who continue to serve during this time of profound loss.
“The outpouring of support shown today serves as a powerful reminder that Cpl/1 Snook’s service and sacrifice will never be forgotten,” said Colonel William D. Crotty, Superintendent of the Delaware State Police. “On behalf of the Delaware State Police, I thank the public and our law enforcement partners for standing with Ty’s family and with our agency during this heartbreaking time. We continue to ask for prayers for his wife, his daughter, and the entire family.”
“Cpl/1 Matthew “Ty” Snook was a dedicated Delaware State Trooper whose courage and commitment to protecting others was evident every day he put on his uniform. He was also a husband and a father. In his final moments, he showed the kind of bravery most of us can only imagine, reflecting the highest values of service. As we hold his wife, his little girl, the law-enforcement community, and all who loved him close in our hearts, may we honor Ty’s legacy by striving to build a world worthy of the sacrifice he made,” said Governor Matt Meyer.
“We are mourning the tragic loss of one of our own Delaware State Troopers, Cpl/1 Matthew “Ty” Snook, who was murdered in the line of duty. This is a devastating time for Ty’s family, for the men and women of the Delaware State Police, and for our entire law enforcement family across the state. Cpl/1 Snook made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the people of Delaware—answering a call to protect others, never knowing it would be his last. His courage, commitment, and selflessness will never be forgotten. We ask all Delawareans to keep Ty’s family, friends, and fellow troopers in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time,” said Secretary Joshua Bushweller, Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
The Delaware State Police remains deeply appreciative of the continued support shown by the community as the agency continues to grieve the loss of Cpl/1 Snook.
With the approval of the Snook family, information regarding an official fund established to support Cpl/1 Snook’s loved ones is available at Help Support Corporal Grade One Snook’s Family | Help a Hero.

DELAWARE COUNTY, Ohio — People in Delaware County said it feels like new housing developments are popping up on every corner.

“What haven’t you noticed, right? The whole area just exploded,” said Scott Shonebarger.
Scott Sanders, the executive director of the Regional Planning Commission, said companies like Intel and other industries are a main driver for thousands of people moving to Delaware County.
With the big boom comes an urgent need for more housing.
John Wicks is the developer at Real Property Design and Development.
He has spent over a decade building homes for families in Delaware County.
Wicks said the Olentangy School District is one of the hottest spots for new homes.
“I started with one high school up until the 90s, then now we’re up to four up to five different high schools so it’s just a big draw,” said Wicks. “It’s a beautiful community.”
The district has grown into the fourth largest in Ohio with a new elementary school opening next year, and a fifth high school in 2028.
Wicks said the growth has presented some challenges over the years like labor shortage and some opposition.
“It’s become a big issue for a lot of people that live in and around these areas. They tend to oppose new growth and new development, so restrictions have gotten a little bit harder. Costs have obviously gone up over the last 20 years,” said Wicks.
The planning commission says between 275,000 and 350,000 people could call Delaware County home by 2040.
That’s up from 214,000 in 2020.
Scott Shonebarger said he supports growth but wonders when is enough.
“I mean to a certain extent I think you know at some point right you have to have some sort of boundaries I think, getting into the fact that now you have five high schools,” said Shonebarger. “What’s the limit?”
Police in Wilmington, Delaware, shot and killed a 19-year-old man Wednesday night.
The incident happened in a residential area near 24th and Jessup streets just after 11 p.m., Wilmington police said in a news release. The person who was shot has not been publicly identified.
Officers were monitoring a large crowd gathered outside when they saw a man exit a home with a handgun and point it toward the crowd, police say.
When officers approached the man, he ran away and a foot pursuit began, police say.
At some point in the chase, an officer fired their weapon and hit the 19-year-old. The man was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
Police say they recovered a loaded gun from the man and that the officer was not injured.
Video filmed at the scene shows a crowd of residents gathered outside after the shooting.
Police are asking anyone with more information to come forward. The shooting is under investigation by the Delaware Department of Justice and Wilmington police.
