Murder of Darrell Lunsford
Darrell Edward Lunsford, Sr. (October 20, 1943 – January 23, 1991) was a police constable of Nacogdoches County, Texas. On January 23, 1991, Lunsford pulled over a vehicle with three men inside, who were transporting marijuana. Lunsford grew suspicious of the suspects and requested to see what was inside the trunk of the vehicle. When Lunsford saw the marijuana, the suspects attacked Lunsford, then shot and killed him with his own sidearm. They then drove off, leaving Lunsford and his patrol car behind. The entire incident was videotaped on the personal video camera Lunsford had installed on the dash of his cruiser. The three suspects were later found and convicted for the murder.
