In the quiet, early morning hours in Beavercreek, Ohio, a 911 call shattered the calm and ended the life of Sean Thomas Reagan, a 41-year-old man. The call, which came in around 2:25 a.m. on Saturday, October 24, 2026, was from his girlfriend, who confessed to shooting him in the home they shared.
Police and paramedics rushed to the residence in the 100 block of South Alpha Bellbrook Road, a typically peaceful street in the Dayton suburb.
When they arrived, they found Sean Reagan deceased. He had been shot, and the woman who had called for help, 41-year-old Ashley Quinn Morgan, was waiting at the scene.
During the distressing 911 call, Morgan told the dispatcher, “I need help. I need help now. I just shot my significant other. He’s been threatening me all night.” She claimed that Reagan had been threatening to kill both himself and her. “He was threatening suicide; he was threatening to take us both out,” she said. Morgan described him as “deranged” and stated that he had a gun, was breaking items throughout the house, and had taken her cellphone.
When the dispatcher asked about Reagan’s condition, Morgan responded, “No, he’s dead... I just aimed, and I shot.” She later added, “I shot him through the head.” Inside the home at the time of the shooting were two young children, ages three and five. According to police, the children did not witness the incident. Morgan expressed her fear for them, telling the dispatcher, “I’m scared to death. I don’t want my kids coming down.” She informed the dispatcher that one gun was on the floor next to Reagan and the one she used was covered by a blanket in the living room.
The Beavercreek Police Department took Ashley Morgan into custody at the scene. On Monday, October 26, 2026, she was formally charged in Fairborn Municipal Court with two counts of murder, one count of voluntary manslaughter, and one count of felonious assault. She was booked into the Greene County Jail, where she was initially held on a $1 million bond, which was later reported as $1.5 million.
Morgan was arraigned via video from the jail on the same day the charges were filed. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Thursday, October 29, 2026. The case was expected to proceed through the Greene County court system. As of late October 2026, the investigation was ongoing, and no further details about the circumstances leading up to the fatal confrontation have been released by authorities.
Little public information is available about Sean Thomas Reagan’s life, his work, or how his family and friends remember him. No obituary or public memorial services were announced in the immediate aftermath of his death. The case has left a local community in shock and raised questions about the events that transpired inside the South Alpha Bellbrook Road home that night.
The legal proceedings against Ashley Quinn Morgan were just beginning as of the last available reports in October 2026. The court will ultimately determine the facts of the case and whether her actions were criminal or justified as she claimed in her initial call for help. The future of the two children who were in the home remains another unanswered question in this tragic case.
