'Storage Wars' Star Darrell Sheets Has Died at 67

Police said the 67-year-old reality-TV star died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the case remains under active investigation.

  • On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, Lake Havasu City Police Department officers discovered 'Storage Wars' star Darrell Sheets deceased in the 1500 block of Chandler Drive. The 67-year-old died from what the force described as an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
  • Sheets rose to prominence as 'The Gambler' on the A&E reality series 'Storage Wars,' starring in 163 episodes between 2010 and 2023. He became a well-known buyer of vacant units, famously exclaiming, 'this is the WOW factor!'
