Jonathan James Ackerman, 36, was fatally shot on March 14, 2018, in Tenmile, Oregon. Deputies responded just before noon to the 100 block of Hidden Hill Lane after a report of a probable homicide and confirmed Ackerman’s death at the scene.

The investigation led to the arrest of 70-year-old Tenmile resident James Teddy Deramus, who was charged with murder and lodged at the Douglas County Jail. Authorities have not disclosed a motive or the nature of any relationship between Ackerman and Deramus. The Douglas County Major Crimes Team — including detectives from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, Roseburg Police Department, and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office — is handling the inquiry. Officials say there is no ongoing threat to the public.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
