Police Officer Rogelio Santander Fundraiser
Police Officer Rogelio Santander, $9,115.58 has been donated to the Assist the Officer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, as requested by the Dallas Police Department.
An off-duty officer working overtime at the store and the store’s loss prevention officer had detained a subject who attempted to shoplift in the store. During the investigation, it was determined the man had an outstanding felony warrant and the off-duty officer requested additional units. Officer Santander and another officer arrived at the store and remained with the subject in the loss prevention office as the off-duty officer confirmed the warrant.
As Officer Santander and the other officer attempted to place the man in custody he drew a handgun from his pocket and shot both officers and the loss prevention officer, critically wounding all three. The man fled the scene but was located later in the day following a vehicle pursuit.
Both wounded police officers and the loss prevention officer were transported to a local hospital where Officer Santander succumbed to his wounds the following morning.
Officer Santander had served with the Dallas Police Department for three years.
