Jeremy Nicholas Henwood was a 36-year-old San Diego Police Department officer and a Captain in the United States Marine Corps Reserves who died after an unprovoked attack on August 6, 2011. While on patrol in Mid-City, Henwood stopped at a traffic light at University Avenue and 45th Street and pulled into the right lane when a vehicle flashing its lights approached. The driver, Dejon Marquee White, pulled alongside and opened fire with a shotgun, striking Henwood in the head.

Two citizens rendered immediate aid and Henwood used his radio to notify dispatch; he was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital and died early the next morning. White had reportedly shot another person minutes earlier at a nearby fast-food restaurant, confessed the shootings to a woman who called 911, and was located soon after. Officers say White attempted to flee and reached for his shotgun; officers then fatally shot him at the scene. The attack was described as random and unprovoked.

Henwood was remembered for his service in the police department and the Marine Corps and for acts of kindness. Does anyone have memories of Henwood or information about the incident to share?
