William Henry Warner, 22, was a Sacramento Police Department officer who died on June 1, 1981, after an accidental gunshot wound. He had been with the department about 18 months. The bullet struck him above his left eye; he was taken to hospital but died shortly afterward.

No criminal activity, suspects, arrests, or litigation were associated with his death; it was ruled an accidental discharge of his own weapon. He left behind an expectant wife who later gave birth to their son. Warner is remembered by colleagues and the community for his dedication and consideration.
