Lloyd Schwieterman, 75, was found dead at his Depweg Road home in Celina on April 20, 2025. Mercer County deputies responded to a 7:44 a.m. call and discovered Schwieterman had suffered a gunshot wound. Investigators noted an initial possibility the wound was self-inflicted but did not reach a conclusion, secured the scene, and obtained search warrants from Celina Municipal Court Judge Kathryn Speeman for a fuller examination.

The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office requested help from the Bureau of Criminal Identification’s crime scene unit, and the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office was asked to perform an autopsy to establish the precise cause of death. Schwieterman was a longtime resident of St. Sebastian, born September 10, 1949, husband to Kathy Schwieterman, father of four, a member of St. Sebastian Catholic Church, American Legion Post 571 and the NRA, and a Marine Corps reservist.

No arrests or suspects have been announced as the investigation continues. Did anyone in the community have recent contact with Lloyd or information that could help clarify what happened?
