Deputy Hugh Allan Martin, 33, was killed in the line of duty on the evening of April 13, 1992, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Martin, a White deputy with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, was leading a SWAT team conducting a high-risk no-knock drug search at a Western Drive residence when the occupant opened fire as the team made entry. Deputy Martin was fatally wounded in the ensuing gunfire; other members of the SWAT team returned fire, subdued and arrested the shooter at the scene, and there was no indication additional people were involved.

The man who shot Deputy Martin was later sentenced to life in prison and subsequently died while incarcerated. Deputy Martin was survived by his son. Does anyone have memories of Deputy Martin or information about the case to share?
