The incident unfolded on November 19, 2025, in the 100 block of Huss Street when police responded to reports of shots fired around 6:24 p.m.

Autopsies, performed on November 21 by the Lucas County Coroner’s Office with Seneca County officials present, revealed:

• Dustin Willey, 29: Died from multiple gunshot wounds to the head, neck, torso, and back – ruled homicide.
• A 7-year-old boy: Multiple gunshot wounds to the head and neck – ruled homicide.
• A 7-month-old infant: Single gunshot wound to the head – ruled homicide.
• Ryan Eagon, 42: Single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head – ruled suicide (toxicology showed presumptive positive for caffeine only).

Authorities described the event as stemming from domestic issues. The children’s mother was in the process of moving out and had enlisted Willey (father of the older child) for help, believing Eagon was out of town. Eagon unexpectedly returned, leading to the fatal confrontation in the driveway.

The mother, uninjured, carried her wounded children inside before emergency crews arrived. First responders transported victims to local hospitals, where three were pronounced dead; the 7-year-old succumbed later.

This devastating case highlights the dangers associated with domestic conflicts. Local resources for those experiencing domestic violence include Sisters in Shelter in Tiffin (567-205-8771) and national hotlines.

The Tiffin community continues to mourn the loss, with previous vigils held in remembrance. The full investigation is closed, with no further charges expected.
