(HARRIS COUNTY, T.X.) – A suspect has been arrested in the ambush murder of a Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy, authorities said.
Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren H. Goforth was filling his patrol car with gas, when a man came from behind and fired multiple shots at him. The suspect continued to fire as the officer was on the ground. Goforth was in full uniform at the time.
“It appears to be an unprovoked execution-style killing of a police officer,” Hickman said.
During the manhunt, law enforcement officials used surveillance video to identify the man in question.
