Sheriff John Feeley was shot and killed after responding to a call where two well-known political officials, a judge and a citizen, were fighting while armed in the streets. As Sheriff Feeley attempted to stop the fight by stepping in between the two men, the judge shot him in the heard, killing him instantly.
The only punishment the judge received for murdering Sheriff Feeley was a $50 fine for discharging a firearm.
Sheriff Feeley had served with the Culberson County Sheriff's Department for six years. He was survived by his wife and six children.
