The more than a thousand people made a vigil in memory of the fallen officer, the authorities seek to determine what might have motivated a 30-year-old accused of ambushing and killing a policeman while carrying gasoline in his patrol car in Houston, as the authorities describe as a targeted killing.
Police had gone to the Chevron gas station in Cypress, a suburban upper middle class area of unincorporated Harris County does not have a municipal government, it belongs to administrative divisions of larger and located northwest of Houston, after going a vehicular accident in a routine inspection.
But 1,500 people Saturday night for a vigil gathered at the gas station where Goforth was killed. They placed bouquets on site, as well as banners where you could read sentences like "We love our police" or "All lives matter."
The images recorded by surveillance cameras that helped identify the suspect also showed several people in the scene, so Hickman asked who might have additional information about the crime to the authorities attending.
Meanwhile, a representative of the organization's 100 Club, a nonprofit organization that supports families of police and firefighters killed while serving organization, said it will give the family $ 20.000 Goforth to mitigate "immediate needs".
