It is with heavy hearts that we announce we have lost one of our own in the line of duty. Officer Richard Martin was struck and killed by a suspect vehicle during a pursuit. He was a 4-year veteran of HPD.
Suspect is in custody.

Please keep Officer Martin's family and the men and women of HPD in your thoughts and prayers.

Matt Patrick has the head of the police union on this morning and he stated that they suspect he was intentionally hit.

Terrible. Didnt realize this is what was causing the jam on Kirkwood on the drive in this morning. I thought it was just a couple carnies that got into a fender bender. Now i feel like an *******.

T&P to the officer and his family, especially the young son. Heartbreaking.

Please consider making a donation to the 100 Club Survivors Fund (www.100club.org). Money donated to this fund go directly to families of first responders who are killed in the line of duty. The 100 Club does an amazing job helping these families out as unfortunately I have witnessed first hand.

If justice was immediate, I'd agree, however lets save some money and time and hope this POS just go ahead and dies where he is.

Officer Martin was killed in the Line of Duty while protecting and serving the citizens of Houston. He was attempting to stop a vehicle stolen in an aggravated robbery by a suspect with a lengthy criminal history. The suspect intentionally struck Officer Martin and he was killed instantly.


Officer Martin leaves behind a wife and 2 children. I knew him, not too well, but we were in the same shift for a while, I remember he always had a smile on his face. He will be missed.

I'm glad he saved taxpayers the expense of a trial and decades of room and board.

I'd prefer the state kill him rather than him getting to make that decision

Yeah but is that worth millions of dollars to you?

The average cost to put a person on death row is upwards of $5m and most stay on death row more than 20 years with appeals. I really think this is better for society and the family.

Interesting point. We dont usually think about the years of trials, hearings and letter writing that the families go through.

That $5 million is an extreme misleadig figure. If there was no death penalty, the costs of our legal system would only decrease by the price of the lethal drugs.

But yes, it's worth the money to give the ultimate punishment to some

I disagree.

Death penalty has certain mandatory appeal processes where we pay for both the prosecution and the public defender. So that would be a huge decrease in legal costs.

People sentenced to life are also appealing.

This POS didn't deserve the option of choosing when to die.

The appeals process is ridiculously expensive and often drawn out for long periods of time for
no logical reason. I had an uncle in HPD who was killed 30+ years ago and his killer is still wasting oxygen after all these years. There needs to be a mandatory deadline from date of original verdict for any appeals or re-trial.
