Serving 26 years as a DeKalb County police officer wasn’t enough for Elgin L. Daniel. He wasn’t done.
“He was too young to retire,” older brother Edward Daniel told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “He figured he’d go back for a few more years, then call it quits for good.”
Two years ago, Elgin Daniel went to work as an officer for the smaller Henry County Police Department. Monday night, his life and career came to a tragic end when he was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver. While helping a stranded motorist on North Henry Boulevard in Stockbridge, Elgin and John Cook, a 58-year-old roadside assistance worker, were hit by a large Ford truck. The driver of the truck never stopped.
