Watchman Hagler was shot in the chest when he saw three men
rolling a stolen car out of a commercial garage. When he asked the men what they were doing, one man raised his hands and a second man shot Hagler, severly wounding him. Hager died one month later from the injury.
The suspects were later identified by a neighboring agency's officer. Two of the suspects were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Watchman Hagler was survived by his wife and three children, as well as a sister, and four brothers.
