Officer David Stefan Hofer, 29, was shot and killed on March 1, 2016, in Euless, Texas, while responding to a report of suspicious activity at J.A. Carr Park. He and his partner were ambushed as they approached the park; Hofer was mortally wounded and later died at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center. The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Jorge Gonzalez, had been released from detention for public intoxication earlier that day, broke into a nearby home and stole several weapons, then lured officers into the ambush. Gonzalez was killed by return fire from Hofer’s partner during the shootout.

Hofer had served two years with the Euless Police Department and five years with the New York City Police Department. The investigation concluded Gonzalez planned the ambush to kill as many officers as possible.

Did anyone in the area around J.A. Carr Park that night see activity at the nearby home or the suspect moving toward the park?
