Trooper Carlos Borland was shot and killed when he stopped a car on I-80, two miles east of Lovelock, Nevada, whose driver was wanted for not paying for gasoline at 8:50 pm.
Unbeknownst to Trooper Borland, the suspect had just murdered two people in Texas, and the vehicle was stolen. Before stopping the car, Trooper Borland had requested a check on the plates, but the plates had not yet been entered into NCIC. As he approached the vehicle, the man pulled out a .38 caliber handgun and shot him in the head.
A trucker reported the officer down, and he was taken to Washoe Medical Center in Reno, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The suspect was apprehended later that day. The suspect had escaped from a North Carolina jail on November 16th. He was convicted of Trooper Borland's murder and sentenced to death. He died while on death row.
Trooper Borland was a United States Army veteran who served with the Nevada Highway Patrol for one year and was assigned to Lovelock. He was survived by his parents.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 44 Reflections11,466 days passed between Carlos’ death and the death of his murderer, a man who spent 33 years on death row. After 25 years, the original state victim’s advocate (Tracy) retired. Carlos’ murderer spent more time on death row than Carlos was alive. There is not justice in that. But now may Carlos and all who loved him have peace. You are never forgotten, and always loved and missed, dear C.
