May 25, 2013 – Just before 3:00 am, Officer Jason Ellis was on his way home after working his shift when he encountered debris in the roadway. He got out of his marked patrol car to clear the obstruction and a subject opened fire with a shotgun, shooting him multiple times. It’s believed that the shooter placed the debris in the roadway as part of his plan to ambush and kill the officer.
