Jeffrey H. Ross was a 27-year-old Tucson Police Officer killed in the line of duty on the evening of February 18, 1982. With four years on the force, he was leading a team of narcotics officers at the Ranch House Bar on North Casa Grande Highway during a buy/bust operation targeting the bar manager, Clifford Hamilton, who was suspected of distributing cocaine.

A single round struck Officer Ross in the chest; he was taken to University Hospital but died 17 minutes after arrival. Other officers returned fire and fatally wounded Hamilton; no arrests were made because the suspect died at the scene. Ross was survived by his wife, who also served as a Tucson police officer, his parents, and his siblings. A memorial in a Tucson park where he had played as a child was later established in his honor.

Did anyone who knew Officer Ross or his family serve with him at the department and want to share memories or information about that night?
