Infant, 7-Year-Old Boy and Two Men Killed in Ohio Murder-Suicide

Tiffin, Ohio – November 20, 2025

A quiet residential neighborhood in Tiffin, Ohio, was shattered Wednesday evening by a horrific murder-suicide that left four people dead, including two young children. The incident, stemming from apparent domestic issues, has deeply shaken the small community about 50 miles southeast of Toledo.

Tiffin Police Department officers responded to reports of gunshots and screaming in the 100 block of Huss Street around 6:30 p.m. on November 19, 2025. Upon arriving at the home, authorities discovered a scene of unimaginable tragedy.

Inside the residence, police found an adult man and two male children suffering from gunshot wounds. A woman, who was physically uninjured but described as “visibly traumatized” and in a state of shock, was also present. Tragically, one child and an adult were pronounced dead at the scene, while the second child was transported to a hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.

Outside the home, officers located another man with a gunshot wound believed to be self-inflicted, who also died.

Authorities have identified the deceased as:

• Ryan Eagon, 42 (the woman’s husband and suspect)
• Dustin Willey, 29 (father of the oldest child)
• A 7-year-old boy
• A 7-month-old infant

According to police investigations, the woman – who is the mother of both children and is not being named to protect her privacy – was in the process of removing belongings from the home due to ongoing domestic disputes. She had arranged for Willey to assist her while believing Eagon was out of town for work. The children were initially outside during this time.

The situation escalated when adults heard the oldest child screaming. They discovered Eagon in the driveway, who then allegedly chased Willey, firing multiple shots. Eagon proceeded to fatally shoot both children before firing additional rounds at Willey and ultimately turning the gun on himself.

Tiffin Police Chief David Pauly called the event “horrific and heartbreaking,” noting that the community is unaccustomed to violence of this magnitude. “As a community, we are not accustomed to events of this horrific and heartbreaking nature in Tiffin,” Chief Pauly said in a statement. “I ask that all residents keep the victims’ families in their thoughts as they face unimaginable loss.”

Tiffin Mayor Lee Wilkinson echoed the sentiment, describing the incident as a “tragedy” that has “deeply shaken our entire community.”

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the probe, with autopsies scheduled by the Seneca County Coroner and a forensic pathologist from the Lucas County Coroner’s Office.

Law enforcement has urged the public to respect the privacy of the surviving mother and affected families during this devastating time. Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
