Deputy Sheriff Toney Clayton Summey, 41, was killed on April 27, 2003, while attempting to serve domestic violence warrants in Randolph County, North Carolina. He and another deputy went to the suspect’s home to serve a warrant for assault on a female and communicating threats. During a struggle the suspect grabbed Deputy Summey’s service weapon, a .45 caliber Glock, and shot him three times in the chest; the suspect also shot the other deputy in the arm before being subdued and arrested.

Deputy Summey had served with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office for four years and was survived by his wife and two children. The suspect, a 36-year-old man, was charged with murder and transferred to a neighboring county.

Does anyone have memories of Deputy Summey, or information about that day that could add detail to the record?
