Darrell Sheets, who appeared on 163 episodes of the popular A&E series “Storage Wars,” died Wednesday in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. He was 67. Police said he died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
“On April 22, 2026, at approximately 0200 hours, officers with the Lake Havasu City Police Department were dispatched to a residence in the 1500 block of Chandler Drive in reference to a reported deceased individual. Upon arrival, officers located a male subject who suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The male was pronounced deceased on scene and the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit was notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation,” the Lake Havasu Police Department said in a release.
“The body was ultimately turned over to the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s office for further investigation. The male subject has been identified as Darrell Sheets, a 67-year-old resident of Lake Havasu City and Darrell’s family has been notified. This incident remains under active investigation, and additional information will be released as it becomes available,” the release continued.
Sheets appeared on the long-running reality show “Storage Wars” from 2010 to 2023, and he also made appearances on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and on Raechel Ray’s show.
He had suffered a heart attack in 2019 and had retired to Arizona, where he was running an antique store called Havasu Show Me Your Junk.
