LAKE HAVASU CITY — Darrell Sheets, a cast member of the A&E reality series "Storage Wars," died at age 67 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 1500 block of Chandler Drive at approximately 2:00 a.m. local time.

The Lake Havasu City Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit responded to the scene and assumed the investigation. Sheets's body was turned over to the Mohave County Medical Examiner's office for further investigation. His death remains under investigation.

Rene Nezhoda, a fellow reality television personality, said in a video posted online that Sheets had been the target of online harassment in the period before his death. "He had this guy, like, really, really tormenting him lately and cyberbullying him. Darrell has been posting a lot about the guy that's been cyberbullying him and tormenting him, and I really hope law enforcement look into that guy and it's just not a pass." Nezhoda said.

Kyle Ridgway, a public information officer, addressed the matter. "We are aware of these cyberbullying accusations and that is a part of the active investigation." Ridgway said.

Brandi Passante, who has appeared on "Storage Wars" since its first season in 2010, posted a tribute following the news. "I've known Darrell Sheets for many years. My heart hurts for Brandon, Zoe, and Kimber." Passante said.

A California native, Sheets appeared in 163 episodes of "Storage Wars" from 2010 until 2023. He was nicknamed "The Gambler" for his tendency to overbid on storage units based on his gut instinct. He often appeared on the series alongside his son, Brandon Sheets, and the two found four Picasso paintings during storage auctions on the show. He also made guest appearances on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and on Rachael Ray's daytime program.

Sheets suffered a heart attack in 2019 and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and a serious lung condition. After leaving "Storage Wars," he retired to Arizona, where he operated an antique shop called Havasu Show Me Your Junk in Lake Havasu City. He is survived by his son, Brandon, and his daughter, Tiffany Sheets.
