On May 19, 2021, Christopher Neil Oberheim was killed on the job. Chris was responding to a domestic violence call with another police officer when they encountered Darion Lafayette in his car. The young man got out of the vehicle with a hidden gun, which he soon used against the two men. Chris, a 44-year-old father of four daughters, was hit in the torso, neck, and head. The other officer was also shot three times, but survived his injuries. The attack was so sudden that Chris's handgun was still holstered when he died on the ground near Darion's car.
