Little Elm will host its 633 Run on Oct. 15 at Lobo Stadium. The event, held in honor of late Little Elm Police Officer Jerry R. Walker, will benefit a scholarship fund created in his name.
On Jan. 17, 2017, police in Little Elm were dispatched to a call involving an openly armed man who a complainant said was walking into a neighborhood located in the 1400 block of Turtle Cove Drive. Upon arrival, officers set up a barricade and ordered the man to drop his weapon, after which he reportedly opened fire from behind his fence and hit Walker in the neck.
Walker was transported to Medical City Denton, where he was pronounced dead as a result of the gunshot wound.
This is the second installment of the 633 Run. To register or get more information, go to t.ly/u2-z.
