Chad Doerman photographed with his young sons shortly before he killed all three



On August 2, 2024, Doerman pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated murder and two counts of felonious assault as part of a plea agreement that allowed him to avoid the death penalty. 


He was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

The incident occurred in Monroe Township, Ohio. Chad Doerman returned home early from work and asked his three sons and wife to join him in the primary bedroom for a nap. After they lay down on the bed, Doerman opened his gun safe and retrieved a Marlin Model 70HC .22 rifle, shooting Hunter twice and killing him. The wife attempted to help Hunter while instructing the other two sons to run. 


The stepdaughter, who was watching television, entered the bedroom and witnessed the initial shots. She ran after Clayton, urging him to keep running. Doerman pursued him into a nearby field, shooting him from behind and then at point-blank range in the head. He then carried Clayton's body back to the house's yard. The stepdaughter reentered the house, grabbed Chase, and fled to the road. Doerman followed, aiming the rifle at her and instructing her to put Chase down. However, he was out of ammunition when he tried to fire. Chase ran to his mother, who was outside trying to render aid to Clayton. 


Doerman then went inside, carried Hunter's body outside, and laid him in the yard. He attempted to wrestle Chase from his wife, reportedly biting her in the process. When she managed to grab the rifle, Doerman shot her in the thumb. She dropped Chase, whom Doerman then shot in the head. Doerman then placed Chase's body next to his brothers and sat on the side stoop of the house, watching his wife attempt to resuscitate the boys until police arrived at 4:25 p.m. Upon their arrival, they instructed him to show his hands and walk towards them, but Doerman disobeyed and remained seated.
