Senior Police Officer Jaime De Luna Padron, 40, was shot and killed on April 6, 2012, while responding to a disturbance at a Walmart on the I-35 Frontage Road in Austin, Texas. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he had three years with the Austin Police Department and previously served with the Austin Airport Police Department and the San Angelo Police Department for 14 years. He left behind two young daughters and his parents.

Padron responded to reports of an intoxicated man shoplifting. After speaking with two employees and attempting to stop the man as he tried to leave, a struggle ensued and the man produced a handgun, shooting Padron in the vest and neck. Despite continuing to fight, Padron died at the scene. Two Walmart employees tackled and held the shooter until officers arrived and arrested him. The suspect, Brandon Daniel, was later convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death; he was found dead in his prison cell in October 2021, and officials did not believe foul play was involved.

Rio Vista Park in San Angelo was renamed Jaime Padron Park, and Austin ISD opened Padron Elementary in August 2014 in his honor. Did anyone in the community have contact with Officer Padron or know more about his service and family?
