Anthony Shearer, 45, of Middletown, Ohio, was shot in the head and died on February 6, 2017. The shooting occurred at the couple’s home on Ellis Way after an argument.

Dawn Shearer was arrested at the scene and charged with murder and felonious assault. She claimed she acted in self-defense and testified to a history of abuse by Anthony; the prosecution argued the use of lethal force was not justified. Experts, including a medical professional, testified at trial and Dawn Shearer was found guilty and sentenced to prison. Family and friends described Anthony as a loving and kind person.
