Eric Joering was a 39-year-old Westerville, Ohio police officer killed on February 10, 2018, while responding to a domestic violence call. A 16-year department veteran who had served as a patrol officer, detective, and K-9 officer, Joering was shot three times, including in the head, and died at the scene. A fellow officer, Anthony Morelli, was also shot in the incident.

Quentin Smith, who was prohibited from possessing a gun because of his criminal history, was convicted of aggravated murder and domestic violence in November 2019 and received two life sentences without parole. The deaths drew public attention, including comments from Governor John Kasich and President Donald Trump. Parts of Interstate 270 near Westerville were renamed in honor of Joering and Morelli, and their cruiser doors were displayed at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington D.C.

Joering is survived by his wife, Jami, and three daughters, Eva, Elena, and Ella. Does anyone have memories of Joering or information about the night of February 10, 2018, to share?
