Summary: |
Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth was shot and killed from ambush while pumping gas into his patrol car at a Chevron gas station at the intersection of West Road and Telge Road, in Cypress.
Deputy Goforth was on patrol and had completed an assignment at the scene of an vehicle collision. He went to a local gas station to fuel his patrol car. As Deputy Goforth stood next to his patrol car filling it with fuel, a male subject(Miles) walked up behind him, and fired multiple shots. After Deputy Goforth fell to the ground, the subject shot him several more times before fleeing the scene in a red or maroon pickup truck. Approximately a dozen shell casings were found on the ground at the scene. Some parts of the execution was recorded on video by the cameras of the Chevron station.
The suspect(miles) was apprehended several hours later after a massive manhunt involving multiple law enforcement agencies from around the Harris County and Houston area.
At this time the motive for the ambush/execution is not known.
