Henry Hank Nava Jr. was a 39-year-old Fort Worth Police Department officer shot while attempting to arrest a man on a felony parole-violation warrant on November 29, 2005. Nava and two other officers went to a home on Seth Barwise Street near Brahma Trail; a female resident invited them inside and, after telling them the man was not there, alerted the suspect by loudly announcing that police were present and would search the house. As Officer Nava opened a bedroom door, the suspect emerged with a 9mm handgun and shot him in the head, just above the left eye.

After the shooting the suspect fled to a nearby home, took the female resident hostage for two hours, then released her and surrendered. Officer Nava was taken to Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital and died two days later. He had served 14 years with Fort Worth PD, after earlier service with Austin Park PD for three years and Plano PD for one year. He is survived by his wife, Teresa, and two children, KayLeigh and Justin; on November 10, 2011, his son legally changed his name to Henry Nava III in his father’s honor. The suspect, identified as Stephen Lance Herd, was later convicted of capital murder.

Did anyone in the area at the time recall seeing police activity on Seth Barwise Street that night or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
