HOUSTON, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Harris County law enforcement said they have detained a suspect Saturday morning in the execution-style shooting death of a deputy sheriff who was pumping gas.
Darren H. Goforth, 47, was standing by the side of his cruiser about 8:30 p.m. Friday when a man walked up behind him and opened fire. When Goforth fell to ground, the gunman shot him several more times and took off, Sheriff Ron Hickman said at a news conference. There was no apparent motive, officials said.
