FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 29, 2025 FOP Capital City Lodge #9 and Crime Stoppers Offer Reward After Two Mifflin Twp Officers Shot Warrant Issued for Daveonte Dixon Columbus, OH — Two Mifflin Township Police Officers were shot in the line of duty, prompting a region-wide search for the suspect. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has issued a warrant for the arrest of Daveonte Dixon, who is wanted in connection with this brazen attack on law enforcement. In response, the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9, in coordination with Central Ohio Crime Stoppers, is offering a cash reward for information leading to Dixon’s whereabouts and arrest. Anyone with information is urged to contact authorities immediately. FOP Lodge #9 President Brian Steel expressed outrage at the circumstances leading to this tragedy. “I don’t know what is more disturbing,” Steel said, “that Daveonte Dixon tried to kill two police officers, or that Franklin County courts allowed this violent felon to be released back onto our streets last year on so-called community control—despite his convictions for F-1 Aggravated Burglary, F-3 Weapons Under Disability, and F-5 Possession of a Dangerous Ordnance. What’s worse, Assistant Prosecutors appeared to jointly recommend this irresponsible sentence.” FOP Lodge #9 extends its heartfelt gratitude to the officers from multiple jurisdictions, Columbus and Mifflin Township medics, and the exceptional medical team at Grant Medical Center, whose swift response and skill have helped keep our injured brothers alive. “We stand by these officers and their families,” Steel added. “And we will not rest until Dixon is brought to justice.” Contact: Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9 Brian Steel, President Info@fop9.org Central Ohio Crime Stoppers (614) 461-TIPS (8477) www.stopcrime.org (fb)
