A special fundraiser was held in Robstown for fallen DPS Trooper Chad Walker
A charity skeet shoot and BBQ was organized by some local troopers who knew Chad Walker. The trooper was killed in March while responding to a traffic stop near Waco.
His first duty station in 2015 was the Corpus Christi area. Organizers say they had to do something to help support Walker's wife and four children.
"There was a lot of benefits going on around the state, and we felt that it was important for us, since he was here in Corpus Christi, for us to do something in return for his family," said retired DPS trooper Alex Benavides.
