View Comments
Friends, family and fellow law enforcement officers from around the area gathered at Lamesa s First Baptist Church Monday afternoon to celebrate the life of Concho County Deputy Samuel Leonard.
Leonard and Concho County Sheriff s Sgt. Stephen Jones died in the line of duty after they were dispatched the evening of May 10 to the 100 block of Bryan Street in Eden for what began as a dog complaint but quickly escalated into a confrontation with a neighbor.
Leonard, 26, was a longtime Lamesa resident who had only left the Dawson County Sheriff s Department, where he worked for about a year, just three weeks before taking the job in Concho County. He leaves behind a wife and young daughter.
