Add to My HeroesHenry T. Minard
Police Officer Henry Minard was shot and killed while responding to a silent alarm at a jewelry store in Hollywood Mall.
As he approached the store, it appeared that all the customers were acting calmly, and nothing was out of the ordinary. However, as he entered the store, he was shot in the back by an assailant.
The subjects were apprehended, convicted of Officer Minard's murder, and sentenced to prison. The shooter was denied parole in 1999. Both subjects subsequently died in prison while serving their sentences.
Officer Minard was a United States Navy Vietnam War veteran. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

View all 27 ReflectionsI live up the block from where it happened. It is now a Target/Public Shopping Center. It is hard to believe that such a tragedy occurred there much like the kidnapping of Adam Walsh in the same shopping area.
You are a hero & always remembered!
A memorial book binder that I made in your honor rests in the Hollywood Police Department Records Division. Always Remembered!
