^ Stanislaus Deputy Dennis Wallace, 53, was responding to a call about a suspicious car and person around 8:30 a.m. yesterday when he was shot twice in the head.
The 20-year veteran of the sheriff’s department had just enough time to request backup after finding the suspect’s stolen vehicle before he was killed.
Officer Wallace was well-liked within the force; he was known for his work in the DARE drug and violence prevention program and had a special bond with young people. He leaves behind a wife and family. RIP.

^ David Machado, 36, was arrested for the shooting after an hours-long manhunt. He's a real piece of shit.
“Within seconds he (Officer Wallace) was murdered, he was executed,” Sheriff Christianson said of the brazen attack in Hughson’s Fox Grove Park, about 95 miles northeast of San Jose.
“We know for a fact that the gun used was in direct contact with his head when the trigger was pulled, twice. This was an execution.”
Christianson described Machado as a known criminal. After fleeing the scene, Machado carjacked someone in the community of Keyes, making off with a white 2009 Kia Rio.
“He was wanted for a felony warrant for felony-related criminal activity and of course he was in a stolen vehicle,” the sheriff said.
