It was at least the third violent felony committed by Smith, who seemed to barely catch the attention of the criminal justice system. In 1995, he escaped charges of carjacking, armed robbery and assault with intent to murder. Instead, he was convicted of felonious assault. Four years later, armed with a knife, the high school dropout kicked in a door and attacked an ex-girlfriend, records show. He escaped from a group home as a teen-ager and broke into a family's home. At the time he killed Wells, Smith was free on bond, awaiting trial on other charges. You can reach Ronald J. Hansen at (313) 222-2019 or rhansen@ detnews.com.
Clay Medrano http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/killed/2001leoka.pdf Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted 2001 A lieutenant with the Harrison County Sheriff's Office was gunned down at 11:05 a.m. on April 27 while handling a mentally deranged individual. The 51-year-old lieutenant and a 31-year-old detective were dispatched to the Hallsville residence of a mentally unstable man. The officers spoke with the man outside the front door of his home, and he agreed to accompany them to see a doctor for a mental evaluation. The man asked the officers to allow him to get some clothing from inside the residence. The officers consented to this request, and as the man began gathering clothing, he produced a 7.62x39 mm semiautomatic rifle and started shooting at them. The detective was shot once in the chest, but the bullet exited his chest into his left hand, shattering his wrist as he attempted to draw his weapon. As both officers retreated from the home in search of cover, the veteran lieutenant, with almost 25 years of law enforcement experience, was struck at least once in the chest and once fatally in the head. The detective, with almost 10 years' law enforcement experience, took cover behind a vehicle and then ran around the back of the residence in an attempt to reach his fallen partner. The 46-yearold mentally deranged man fled the residence in his vehicle and fired several additional shots into a neighbor's residence. He drove to his parent's home, where he parked his vehicle in a field and committed suicide. The detective was transported to a local hospital for treatment and is recovering from his wounds. http://www.odmp.org/year.php?year=2001&Submit=Go http://www.odmp.org/officer.php?oid=15688 Lieutenant Clay Medrano Harrison County Sheriff's Department, TX End of Watch: Friday, April 27, 2001 Biographical Info Age: 51 Tour of Duty: 25 yr Badge Number: Not available Date of Incident: Friday, April 27, 2001 Weapon Used: Rifle; AK-47 Suspect Info: Committed suicide Lieutenant Medrano was shot and killed while he and another officer were serving a mental commitment warrant at a house near Hallsville. The officers went to the scene after receiving reports several days earlier that the man was waving guns in a threatening manner.

The suspect then drove to his parent's home and committed suicide. Lieutenant Medrano had been with the Harrison County Sheriff's Department for 15 years and had been in law enforcement for 25 years.
