Fort Worth Police Officer Garrett Hull, 41, was killed on September 14, 2018, after being shot outside the Los Vaqueros bar in Fort Worth, Texas. Hull was working undercover as part of a team attempting to arrest a group of armed robbery suspects when a confrontation escalated and one of the suspects, Dacion Steptoe, opened fire, fatally wounding the officer. Hull received immediate medical attention but died of his wounds.

The suspects were identified as Dacion Steptoe, Timothy Huff, and Samuel Mayfield. Steptoe was killed by other officers at the scene. Huff and Mayfield were arrested and charged in connection with Hull’s death; under Texas law both were held criminally responsible for the killing because of their roles in the robbery and ensuing shooting. In June 2022 Timothy Huff was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life without parole. Samuel Mayfield pleaded guilty and received a 60-year sentence in January 2023. Hull had served 17 years with the Fort Worth Police Department and was remembered for his dedication to duty and his family.
