Officer Ronald Dale Baker, 24, was killed on May 2, 1983, while on patrol in southeast Dallas. The suspects overpowered him, shot him with his own service revolver, and then ran over him twice with their van before fleeing the scene.

The suspects fled to Arkansas and later committed suicide when authorities surrounded them, so no criminal trial followed. Baker had served with the Dallas Police Department for four years and was survived by an expectant wife and a young daughter. His death was from gunfire and is remembered by family and fellow officers.

Does anyone have additional details about the incident or Baker’s service that could add to the record?
