HOUSTON, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Investigators continue Sunday to dig for answers in the execution-style shooting death of a deputy sheriff after a 30-year-old man was arrested and charged in what police called an "unprovoked" attack.
Shannon J. Miles is being held on a charge of capital murder in the death of Deputy Darren Goforth, 47, a 10-year veteran with the sheriff's office. Investigators said Miles shot Goforth, who was in uniform, from behind at a Chevron station about 8:20 p.m. Friday. Miles has a criminal history that includes resisting arrest, trespassing, evading detention and disorderly conduct with a firearm, Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said.
