Officer Glen Victor Agee, 31, was shot and killed in the line of duty on August 6, 2010. Agee and another officer had arrested 24-year-old Latwan Smith earlier that day on aggravated assault and domestic violence charges after Smith allegedly threatened his girlfriend with a loaded gun. While being transported to the Hinds County Detention Center, Smith complained of breathing trouble and a rear window was lowered. Despite being handcuffed behind his back and belted in, Smith managed to bring his hands forward, open the partially opened rear door when the patrol car stopped at a red light, and flee into nearby woods with both officers pursuing him.

Agee followed Smith into a wooded area and struggled with him in the water of a nearby canal. During that struggle Smith disarmed Agee and shot him twice in the face with Agee’s service weapon. Agee was found shortly afterward, taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and pronounced dead. The suspect was captured about 45 minutes later after a multi-agency search and a helicopter assisted in the effort. A volunteer later recovered Agee’s 9mm Glock 17 service weapon submerged in a creek bed near where his body was found. Agee had been with the Jackson Police Department for two months, after previous service with Jackson State University Police and the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

If anyone knew Officer Agee or has information about the events of August 6, 2010, please come forward.
