On January 19, 2024, at about 7:44 a.m., deputies from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office responded to a distress call about a shooting in the basement of a residence on Coal Street in Chesterhill, Ohio. They found 32-year-old Trey D. Dixon of Glouster deceased from a single gunshot wound. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit, the Southeastern Ohio Major Crimes Task Force, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation assisted at the scene, and the Morgan County coroner ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Several witnesses were interviewed; no arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing. Trey Dixon was born February 27, 1991, in Athens, Ohio, worked as a certified welder and was a member of the Local 18 Operator’s Union in Columbus. He is survived by his mother Marcy Dixon, his children Treyson and Tatum Dixon, and other family members; he was preceded in death by his father John Ray Dixon and his grandparents. A GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral expenses and support his children.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
