Yesterday marked a solemn reminder in Tarrant County as the Sheriff’s Office paid tribute to Deputy Frank D. Howell, whose life was tragically cut short 38 years ago. In a somber post on the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page, they recounted Howell’s over twenty-year career in law enforcement and the circumstances surrounding his death. On November 3, 1986, while investigating a suspicious vehicle in Fort Worth, Deputy Howell encountered a fatal confrontation that would unfold into one of the county’s most extensive manhunts.
