Detective Bill Brewer, 42, a 20-year veteran of the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office, was fatally shot on February 2, 2019, during a 12-hour standoff in Pierce Township near Cincinnati, Ohio. He was responding to a call about a suicidal person when the suspect ambushed deputies, and Brewer was killed while another deputy, Lt. Nick DeRose, was wounded.

The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Wade Winn, had barricaded himself in an apartment and staged a fake suicide, then opened fire, according to reports. Defense attorneys later said Winn had been under the influence of cocaine and LSD at the time. Winn was charged with aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder.

Brewer is remembered by family and the law enforcement community for his dedication to helping people in crisis. Does anyone have information about Brewer’s service or sights and sounds from Pierce Township that night that could shed more light on what happened?
