Add to My HeroesMalcolm S. Davis
Deputy Sheriff Malcolm Davis was killed around midnight by Clyde Barrow as he and other deputies were staking out a house at 3111 N. Winetka Ave. while waiting for members of the Bonnie and Clyde Gang.
Deputy Davis is buried in Grapevine Cemetery, Grapevine, Tarrant County, Texas.
The Bonnie and Clyde Gang was responsible for the murder of law enforcement officers in four states - Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas - between 1932 and 1934. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow started their criminal career by robbing banks and quickly became notorious murderers wanted for the murders of nine law enforcement officers.
The two criminals were finally shot and killed in Louisiana when they were ambushed by a task force of Texas and Louisiana officers.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 13 ReflectionsI recently watched “The Highwaymen” which is the story of the hunt for and the eventual justice brought to Bonnie and Clyde. This film, in my humble opinion, unlike the previous movies, acknowledges and shows respect for the Law Enforcement Officers who lost their lives to these animals and does not show them to be any kind of folk hero. It was long overdue.
Though the name of each and every Officer is not mentioned, some are and I believe the sacrifice by all is honored.
God Bless you, Deputy Davis, and may your eternal rest remain ever peaceful, Brother.
