It's been a year since Harris County Deputy Darren Almendarez was gunned down by criminals in the act of stealing his truck's catalytic converter.
A day after lawmakers in the Texas senate passed ‘Get Tough’ legislation, the brave deputy spoke exclusively to FOX 26.A year ago, Flor Almendarez was with her husband the night he confronted his killers, and she was holding the courageous Harris County Deputy in her arms when he left this life forever.
"He said, 'Babe I love you'. We kissed. I just knew at that moment, I just felt, that was his last breath," said Flor.When armed thieves fired a fatal round into the body of Deputy Darren Almendarez, they inflicted a wound on his wife, which may never fully heal; broken hearts are like that. "During the day I am constantly thinking about it," Mrs. Almendarez said. "To me, it's still so unreal. I just want him to come back, and I feel like this is just a bad dream."
