Bobby Paul Doherty was a 41-year-old Texas Ranger shot dead on February 21, 1978, during a drug raid at a residence in Argyle, Texas. Born July 29, 1936, in Mount Calm, Texas, Doherty began in the Texas Department of Public Safety as a patrolman in 1958 and transferred to the Rangers in 1976.

He was struck in the head by a .38 caliber revolver fired by Gregory Arthur Ott, a North Texas State University student who said he thought a robbery was occurring and that the shot was accidental; Rangers accused him of being a drug dealer protecting his stash. Ott was indicted on capital murder charges and sentenced to life in prison.

Doherty is honored at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum and buried at Azleland Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Reno, Texas.\n\nDid anyone who knew Bobby or who was in Argyle that night have details to add about the raid or its aftermath?
