Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said August 28th marked the four year anniversary of the shooting death of Deputy Darren Goforth. Deputies Sandeep Dhaliwal and Goforth were close friends. Dhaliwal was the first deputy on the scene that night.
On Friday, Dhaliwal was gunned down, about one mile away from the Goforth scene in an ambush during a traffic stop. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says the 41-year-old deputy was rushed by helicopter to a hospital but died. Dhaliwal was a father of three children. He was a 10-year veteran of the sheriff's office.
