Our condolences to every one with Ted Heap, Harris County Constable Precinct 5.

If you have any information on the suspect still at large, you may report anonymously to the CrimeStopper Tip Line by calling 713-222-TIPS(8477).

In Mourning

Constable Ted Heap and our entire Precinct 5 family mourn the loss of Corporal Charles Galloway, who was shot and killed this morning in Southwest Houston.

At approximately 12:45 a.m., Corporal Galloway was attempting to make a traffic stop in the 9100 block of Beechnut. The driver exited the vehicle and fired repeatedly at Corporal Galloway's patrol car. Deputy Galloway was struck multiple times and died on the scene.

"Corporal Galloway did not have an opportunity to defend himself in this brutal attack," said Constable Heap. "We cannot have people like this on our streets. I do not want to raise my family, my grandchildren, in a county where this type of crime is running rampant."

The suspect is described as a young Hispanic male. He is driving a newer-model, white Toyota Avalon.

Corporal Galloway joined our Precinct 5 family in 2009, serving the residents of Harris County for more than 12 years, most recently in our Toll Road Division, where he served as a Field Training Officer. He was 47 years old.

"Corporal Galloway was very much loved by the men and women he served with," said Constable Heap. "There's a lot of broken up officers who he meant a lot to in their lives."

The Houston Police Department is handling the investigation into Corporal Galloway's shooting. Funeral services are pending.

A reminder...

You've likely seen many reminders to bring animals inside before the freezing cold temperatures set in. However, did you know that if your pet dies of hypothermia, you can be charged with animal cruelty?

Per the Harris County Animal Cruelty Taskforce, law enforcement agencies working with the Taskforce will have a zero-tolerance approach for anyone leaving pets outside during sub-freezing temperatures.

Deputies with Ted Heap, Harris County Constable Precinct 5, along with other Taskforce partners at Houston Police Department, BARC, Houston Humane Society, and Harris County Pets will be on call and available to check on any pets left outside in dangerous conditions throughout this winter weather situation. Report cases immediately at 832-927-PAWS.
