Manhunt Underway for Suspect in Ambush-Style Murder of Texas Sheriff’s Deputy
Breitbart ^ | 07/11/2024 | RANDY CLARK

Posted on 07/11/2024 11:30:07 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A Harris County Deputy Sheriff responding to a call regarding an armed robbery in Houston on Wednesday night was shot and killed. Shortly after 10:00 p.m., 28-year-old Deputy Fernando Esqueda was shot and killed after responding to the emergency call. The sheriff believes Esqueda was ambushed.

Esqueda was shot after locating and investigating a suspicious vehicle believed to be involved in the 911 call. Hours after the murder, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzales named 44-Year-Old Ronnie Palmer as a person of interest in the armed incident and in the capital murder of Esqueda. Palmer was already wanted for aggravated assault from a prior incident.

We mourn the loss of @HCSOTexas Deputy Fernando Esqueda, who tragically passed away after being shot while protecting our community.

Deputy Esqueda was a five-year Harris County Sheriff’s Office veteran and served our community in the HCSO

” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzales named 44-Year-Old Ronnie Palmer as a person of interest in the armed incident”

Call him what he is. He is a suspect. Person of interest has zero legal meaning. The Deputy was murdered. be a professional in your search to catch and execute the murderer.

Someone should be able to identify the neck tattoo. Likely a gang ID.

I don’t think so....this is Texas, remember.

Harris Cty residents, for the most part, respect dear LEOs (excluding a demo of thugs) ....and, this is a Hispanic Sheriff, who was killed.

Will be interesting to see.

Prayers up, for this Sheriff’s loved ones.
