Detective Jerry Ronald Walker, 48, was killed in the line of duty on January 17, 2017, after responding to a call about an armed man in the 1400 block of Turtle Cove Drive in Little Elm, Texas. Officers encountered 46-year-old Rudy Garcia in a backyard; Garcia ran into a home and began firing through the windows. Walker was struck in the neck and later died at Medical City Denton. He was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the Little Elm Police Department for 19 years.

Garcia remained barricaded inside the house for several hours and was found dead about six hours after the standoff. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner determined Garcia died of a gunshot wound to the head that was not self-inflicted and concluded Garcia was shot by Little Elm police officers. Garcia’s brother said Garcia suffered from schizophrenia and was off his medication at the time.

The community mourned Walker’s death and donations were collected to support his family. Are there details about the response or timeline around the standoff that anyone nearby remembers or can share?
