Detective Jarrod Brent Shivers, 34, a U.S. Navy veteran and eight-year member of the Chesapeake Police Department, was killed on the evening of January 17, 2008 while serving on a SWAT team executing a high-risk narcotics search warrant on Redstart Avenue. As a breacher attempting to force entry, he was struck by a single shot fired from inside the residence; the wound was fatal. Shivers was a husband and father of three.

The man inside the home, 28-year-old Ryan David Frederick, barricaded himself briefly before being taken into custody at the scene and charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The warrant had been for a suspected marijuana growing operation. At trial in May 2009, Frederick was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and later sentenced to 10 years in prison for Shivers’ death.

Anyone who knew Detective Shivers or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
