A Community in Mourning
On March 19, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez took to Facebook to announce the death of retired deputy William Bozeman from an apparent suicide—initially reported as the third loss in just one week.
“Our hearts are heavy,” Gonzalez wrote. “We extend our deepest condolences to their families, colleagues, and friends. Life is fragile, and time is not promised. May they Rest in Peace.”
The truth was even more devastating: Bozeman was actually the fourth suicide tied to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) in six weeks—a sh0cking pattern that has alarmed Houston and the nation.
