Sergeant Daniel Dale Green, 47, of the Tallahassee Police Department was killed on November 13, 2002, while responding to a reported home-invasion robbery in the 2500 block of Melody Circle. A 13-year department veteran, he radioed a description of a suspicious vehicle as he approached the scene and was then ambushed and shot four times, including once in the back of the head.

The suspect fled but was later taken into custody after a lengthy chase and shootout. The person responsible was convicted of murder on September 8, 2004, and received a life sentence on October 21, 2004.

Sergeant Green is survived by his wife Deborah Green and their three children.
