The public is being asked to help identify a gunman who fatally shot a Texas deputy while he pumped gas, Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said at a briefing today.
"We have not taken anyone into custody. We have people we are talking to, trying to follow-thru methodically. We don't want to be jumping to conclusions," Hickman said.
Deputy Darren H. Goforth, 47, was in uniform when he was shot while filling up his patrol car at a service station Friday night. "This was a cold-blooded execution," the sheriff said.
Earlier today the Texas Department of Public Safety said there was a person of interest in custody. Hickman didn't explain the discrepancy between the reports.
