Baker, not for notable consideration.

Just honoring the fallen deputy.

Texas has become the wild, wild west again.

May God rest his soul

The Murder of Deputy Darren Almendarez

The sheriff said Deputy Darren Almendarez protected his wife in his final moments.

Three men have been charged with capital murder in the death of off-duty Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputy Darren Almendarez, who was shot in a grocery store parking lot.

The three men are a part of a bigger crew that steal catalytic converters.

Deputies said Almendarez and his wife were walking back to their truck when he saw a black, four-door Nissan Altima backed up to his vehicle. Two men were under his truck, and it appeared that they were trying to steal the catalytic converter, officials said.

Gonzalez said Almendarez told his wife to stay back as he approached the suspects’ car, which had three men inside. That’s when one of the three men started shooting.

The deputy was hit several times but was able to shoot back, hitting at least two of the suspects.

Almendarez was a 23-year veteran with the sheriff’s office. He was assigned to the auto theft division.
