Summary: |
Officers Arthur Hennesay and John Vickers were shot and killed when they were ambushed as they answered a complaint of a stuck car horn in a motel parking lot.
As Officer Vickers was looking for the owner he was shot three times. Officer Hennesay arrived on the scene and was shot through his windshield. The next officer, arriving on the scene, arrested one suspect, a 22 year old man, as two others ran from the scene. The other two suspects, a 24 year-old man and his 17 year-old wife, were captured at a nearby motel.
Three hours later the parents, of the first suspect arrested, were found shot to death at a motel they managed in San Diego. The car with the stuck horn belonged to them. All three suspects lived at the motel with them. All three were charged with four counts of first degree murder. The two male suspects were convicted of four counts of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Officer Hennesay had served with the El Centro Police Department for 12 years. He is survived by his wife, son, and three daughters.
