According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, it's the 12th line of duty death for the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office -- the last happening in 2011 when a deputy died in a crash.

A manhunt ended in Texas when a Houston man accused of shooting and killing a deputy serving a warrant on him in the parking lot of a Dollar Tree, was fatally shot by police.

As tributes and farewell wishes continue to pour out for Brazoria County deputy Jesus Vargas, we wanted to share ways the Sheriff's Office is encouraging the community can honor the slain officer’s memory.
