Deputy Hamons located the man at a store and informed him of the summons. The subject then told Deputy Hamons he would not obey the summons and a struggle ensued in which both men were shot. Deputy Hamons succumbed to his wound the following day.

His shooter survived the wound and was charged in connection with the murder.

3Your heroism and service is honored today, the 103rd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, not even 103 years.

Rest In Peace
