Bryce Dion was a 38-year-old sound mixer for the reality TV show Cops who was killed on August 26, 2014, in Omaha, Nebraska. Dion and a cameraman were accompanying Omaha police officers who were responding to a robbery at a Wendy’s restaurant when officers fired on an armed robbery suspect inside the building. Dion was positioned in a vestibule and was struck by a single bullet that entered his left arm and passed between the protective panels of the bullet-proof vest he was wearing, causing his death.

Dion’s death was the first fatality in the 25-year history of the Cops series. The shooting prompted discussion about the safety of reality TV crews embedded with law enforcement during active operations and the risks faced by civilian production teams working alongside officers.

If anyone was present at the Wendy’s that night or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
