I wonder if this was a relative of Admiral Kinkaid. His name was Kent Kinkaid. 26 May 1998 The Associated Press Kent D. Kincaid Teens arrested in shooting of off-duty officer HOUSTON (AP) - Three teens have been arrested and charged in the fatal shooting of an off-duty Houston police sergeant on Friday night, authorities said. Houston Police Sgt. Kent D. Kincaid was shot when he tried to question a driver he thought had thrown something at his windshield. Police now believe the object was actually a slug from a .25-caliber handgun. Anthony Haynes, 19, of Missouri City, and Timothy Reese, 18, of Houston, were arrested in Haynes' truck late Sunday night in northwest Houston, police said. A 16-year-old from Houston was arrested separately. Investigators believe Haynes is the shooter. He was jailed on one count of capital murder and two counts of aggravated robbery, police said. Reese and the juvenile each face one count of aggravated robbery. The robbery charges stem from three assaults earlier Friday night. At a press conference Monday, Harris County Sheriff Tommy Thomas indicated that the key break in the case was a tip from a man who had been harassed by Haynes and Reese in the neighborhood where the shooting occurred. Asked whether the suspects expressed remorse about the shooting, Thomas said, "They were remorseful for the fact they got caught." Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Black said the 40-year-old Kincaid and his wife, Nancy, were driving about a block from their house around 11:15 p.m. Friday when their Jeep was hit by an object that appeared to come from a passing truck. Black said Kincaid turned his vehicle around and followed the pickup for several blocks. He said the truck stopped, and Kincaid got out and began approaching the driver's side of the truck. Authorities say that Kincaid told the truck's occupants he was an off-duty police officer. He was shot once in the head, and the pickup sped away, Black said. Kincaid, a 13-year veteran, died shortly after arriving at Hermann Hospital. Houston Police homicide Capt. Richard Holland said Kincaid's widow expressed relief at the arrests. Services for Kincaid will be today at Bear Creek United Methodist Church in Houston. He will be buried Thursday in Stockton, Kan. http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/rooks/moreobits2.html K.D.

As they drove past an on-comming vehicle, an obejct struck the widshield of the truck. Sgt Kinkaid turned around and followed the other vehicle. The other vehicle stopped and Sgt Kinkaid exited his truck and approached the driver's side. Kinkaid identified himself as a police officer and proceeded to question the suspects in the vehicle. One of the suspsects shot Officer Kinkaid and they fled the scene in the vehicle. Sgt Kinkaid died from the gunshot wound a few days later. The suspects were later arrested and confessed to the murder. They had been out robbing motorists just proir to shooting Sgt Kinkaid. When Sgt Kinkaid identified himself as a police officer he was shot because the suspects believed Sgt Kinkaid knew about the robberies that had committed, which he did not. The object that had hit Sgt Kinkaid's windshield was a bullet fired by the suspects. http://members.tripod.com/~Stacy_P/officerdown.htm
