Donald Ray Tucker was a 22-year-old Clinton Police Department officer in North Carolina when he was shot and killed on November 14, 1991. He was working undercover with a multi-agency task force in Carteret County on a drug operation; during his final drug purchase for the task force, two suspects robbed and shot him. Both suspects were apprehended shortly after the incident and the gunman was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison on April 3, 1992.

Tucker had been with the Clinton Police Department for about one year at the time of his death. He is survived by a son, his parents, a brother and a sister. The Clinton Police Department erected a memorial in front of their headquarters in his honor. The family has sought a bridge in Clinton be named for him, but a resolution to do so was voted down by the city council.
