Patrolman Angel Andrew Barcena, 38, was shot and killed on September 25, 2004, while responding to a domestic disturbance in El Paso, Texas. Barcena had been with the El Paso Police Department only a month after graduating from the academy. He and a partner entered a garage after hearing screams and encountered Theodore Michael Berry, who was armed with a .38-caliber revolver. Barcena attempted to use his Taser but missed; Berry then fired two shots, one striking Barcena in the back of his upper left leg and severing an artery. Barcena was taken to Beaumont Army Medical Center, where he died of his wounds.

Berry was arrested and charged with capital murder; at trial the prosecution relied on Berry’s confession and 911 recordings. Barcena is survived by his wife, brother, and father. Does anyone have memories of Officer Barcena or information about the incident that could add detail to the timeline?
