Officer Larry Elwood Lasater Jr. was a 35-year-old Pittsburg, California police officer who was fatally shot on April 23, 2005, while attempting to arrest two robbery suspects on the Delta De Anza Regional Trail. The suspects had reportedly robbed a supermarket and a bank branch then fled; after crashing their vehicle in a residential area they ran onto the trail. During the pursuit Lasater spotted one suspect hiding in bushes, ordered him to come out, and was shot in the neck and leg. He was kept on life support to facilitate organ donation and died the following day.

Both suspects were apprehended shortly after the shooting. Later reporting says they were convicted of first-degree murder; one received the death penalty and the other a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. Officer Lasater was a decorated Marine Corps veteran who had served five years with the Pittsburg Police Department; he left behind his expectant wife, mother, and brother, and his son was born two and a half months after his death. A park in Pittsburg has been dedicated in his memory.
