Ernesto Vasquez was a 32-year-old Fort Worth police officer who died from injuries sustained on August 3, 2014. His death was first reported as a car accident but investigators determined the crash was deliberate. He was run over by an SUV driven by his wife, Diana Marileen Lopez, and was hospitalized for several months before succumbing to his injuries.

Lopez was arrested and charged in the case. During the subsequent trial prosecutors presented testimony that Lopez had initially lied to detectives; family members described Vasquez as a loving brother, father and son. In June 2017 Lopez was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the killing.
