Deputy David Holguin was shot and killed while assisting a young child who was alone at a bus stop. Deputy Holguin had just finished his shift and was heading home when he saw the boy by himself at the intersection of Florence and Vinevale Avenues in Bell City. He stopped and called the Bell Police Department, identified himself as an officer, and waited with the boy until local police arrived. While he waited the boy's father, a heroin addict, arrived and shot Deputy Holguin in the face with a .45 caliber handgun. The suspect was apprehended, convicted of second degree murder, and sentenced to 15 years.
