Sergeant Joseph Daniel Bock, 40, was killed on September 9, 1987, while attempting to arrest a speeding suspect near the Botanical Gardens in Corpus Christi, Texas. The suspect fled but was later apprehended.

Bock had served 13 years with the Corpus Christi Police Department and was survived by two daughters, his mother, and two sisters. A city park at 7327 Canadian Drive, 78414, was named in his honor. The suspect was initially sentenced to death; on June 12, 2004, that sentence was commuted to life with the possibility of parole after a finding of mental illness.

Anyone who remembers Sergeant Bock or the events around September 9, 1987, and can add details is asked to share what they know.
