Officer Beuf was killed when both he and a suspect were struck by a tractor-trailer while struggling on the side of a roadway at N. 24th Avenue and W. Lone Cactus Drive. Officer Beuf had responded to a call and was approaching a man when the man began to run. Officer Beuf chased the suspect and caught him on the side of a roadway. As the two struggled, they fell into the path of a slow-moving tractor-trailer.
The truck stopped, but Officer Beuf and the suspect were entangled in the front axle. Officer Beuf was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The suspect was critically injured in the accident. When he recovered he was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to pay $9,000 in restitution for the death of Officer Beuf.
Officer Beuf was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Phoenix Police Department for one year. He is survived by his wife and four children.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 100 ReflectionsPapa in some weird way I feel that I am the person in the world that is the closest to you but also the farthest away. I feel that I have never met you but I carry you with me everywhere I go. Growing up I was always told how much like you I looked and how much like you I acted. I've always been told what you were like but I will never get to see it myself. I feel like I have never met you yet I feel so connected to you and I love you so much. It brings me pride and joy to see the impact you had on the lives of others.
To me you will always be my Papa, I may only have the idea of who you were but I will always strive to make you proud. I may only see the ideal of who you were but I hope to become as good of a man as you were. I only hope that I can love my Wife and my children as much as you loved yours.
