Fallen Heroes of the Bayou City


Houston Police Department 1860-2006

Written by Nelson J. Zoch.
Edited by Mr. Tom Kennedy of Kennedy Communications.

This is a 280 page publication compiled by Retired HPD Homicide Lieutenant Nelson Zoch which describes in detail the lives and deaths of 106 Houston Officers who gave their lives in THE LINE OF DUTY. Learn about how Houston Police Officers worked and died while doing their duty as Officers, beginning with Officer C. Edward Foley being shotgunned to death at the market place in 1860 to Officer Rodney Johnson being killed by a handcuffed illegal immigrant in 2006.


Old West-type shootouts occurred in 1901 at the infamous intersection of Congress and San Jacinto, where three of our finest lost their lives in two separate incidents in a span of five months. There was the lynching of a suspect that had killed an Officer in 1928, the graphic blow-by-blow description of the hours leading up to the public lynching of a suspect in 1891, how another suspect was secretly removed from the jail to the prison system in order to avoid another lynching and about a scoundrel from a rich and famous family who killed a Houston Officer in 1886, AND GOT AWAY WITH IT-that is, until he was shot and killed in a courthouse. There was also the WHO-DUN-IT in 1911, that was not cleared until five years later.


This book also contains over 160 photos of Officers and some of their families, before and after the tragedy that changed their lives forever. Also included are charts which list their places of burial as well as the known dispositions of the suspects.
