Weapon Used:
Handgun
Suspect Info:
Sentenced to life
Officer Wright and Officer William Mines were shot and killed
after stopping a suspicious man behind a local business in the late night hours.
The officers called the man over to their patrol car. Unbeknownst to the
officers the man was wanted in Minnesota for murder. As the suspect talked to
the officers, who were still seated in their patrol car, the suspect produced a
handgun and opened fire, killing Officer Mines instantly. Officer Wright, who
was wounded, exited the vehicle and was then shot execution style by the
suspect. The officers were not found for several hours as they had not called in
the stop.
As the suspect fled he nearly struck a delivery man, who wrote down the license
plate in order to report him as a reckless driver. During the investigation the
plate was traced to the suspect. Three days later the suspect was apprehended in
Inkster, Michigan, after he crashed his car into another car during a police
chase. The driver of the other car, a 21 year-old man who was to be married the
next day, was killed.
The suspect was returned to Virginia, convicted of first degree murder, and
sentenced to life. The man died of liver cancer while still in prison on
February 17, 2004, several days after an appeal for clemency was denied by the
governor of Virginia.
Officer Wright was survived by his wife and three children.
