  • The Shooting of Darren Goforth (c. 1968 – August 28, 2015) refers to the shooting death of a ten-year deputy sheriff of the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Goforth, who was in uniform at the time, was killed by Shannon Miles, a repeat offender with a history of mental illness, who shot Goforth repeatedly in the back of the head with a .40 caliber handgun while Goforth was fueling his car. Miles' mother provided an alibi, but the police found the murder weapon in his garage, and he pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty; he was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in September 2017. The murder led to a scandal in the Harris County Sheriff's Department. The passenger in Goforth's car and witness to the murder was reportedly his mistress, who was also involved with two other officers. They were terminated, as was a third officer, who harassed the woman. (en)
