Unspeakable Tragedy: Father Accused of Killing Three Young Sons
A devastating incident has left the entire neighborhood in shock as Chad Doerman, 32, stands accused of brutally killing his three young sons, aged 3, 4, and 7. The senseless act of violence has left the community in deep distress. The police bodycam footage of Doerman’s arrest has now been released, providing a chilling glimpse into the aftermath of the horrifying crime.
An Unimaginable Act
On June 15, authorities responded to distressing 911 calls from a residence in Monroe Township, Ohio. The first call came from a distraught woman who reported that her babies had been shot, while the second call was from a witness who saw a girl running down the street, claiming her father was killing everyone.
Upon arrival, deputies and emergency medical services discovered the three young boys unresponsive. Tragically, they had already passed away at the scene. Prosecutors revealed that Doerman had confessed to planning and executing the deaths of his children over several months. Shockingly, reports suggest that he lined up the boys in the yard and executed them with a rifle. One of the boys attempted to escape to a nearby field, but Doerman forcibly brought him back to the yard and shot him as well.
Arrest Caught on Bodycam
“Man, I ain’t trying to hurt nobody. I’m completely sober. Never done drugs in my life.”
The arrest of Chad Doerman was captured on bodycam footage from the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office. In the video, Doerman is seen seated on his front doorstep with a rifle next to him. He is apprehended by officers who approach cautiously before handcuffing him.
During the arrest, Doerman can be heard denying any intention to harm the deputies and assuring them of his sobriety. The distraught mother of the boys is also heard in the background, expressing her devastation and pleading for help.
Despite his arrest, Doerman requests minor accommodations, such as rolling over and retrieving his wallet from his back pocket. However, law enforcement responds by advising him to exercise his right to remain silent.
Continuation of the Case
Chad Doerman has been charged with three counts of heinous murder. The mother of the boys also suffered a gunshot wound to the hand, which the prosecution claims she intentionally received while attempting to protect her children. Doerman posted an unprecedented $20 million bond for his release, and he has reportedly confessed to the killings. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 26.
Community Support and Healing
Rachel Brown, the boys’ aunt and the mother’s sister, initiated a GoFundMe campaign to help alleviate the financial burden faced by her sister during this unimaginably difficult time. The campaign initially aimed to raise $20,000 but has surpassed expectations, accumulating ten times that amount in support.
While nothing can undo the pain caused by this tragic event, the outpouring of support from the community provides a small glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.
