On June 15, 2023, three young brothers — 7-year-old Hunter Doerman, 4-year-old Clayton, and 3-year-old Chase — were killed inside their Monroe Township, Ohio, home. Hunter was shot first; Clayton and Chase were shot as they tried to flee. Their mother, Laura Doerman, was injured while attempting to protect the children and placed the 911 call that alerted police.

Police arrested Chad Doerman at the scene and charged him in the deaths. Neighbors described a history of anger and domestic violence, though no prior police reports about disturbances at the residence were reported. A surviving daughter witnessed the killings but escaped unharmed. Community members have since rallied around the family, and a local youth sports association dedicated a field in the boys’ memory.

If anyone knew Hunter, Clayton, or Chase, or has information about events that morning, please share what you remember.
