The suspect, Brandon McCall, 26 ^, barricaded himself inside of the apartment for several hours before surrendering. He is charged with capital murder of a police officer. He is not charged with his friend Gamez's death (not clear as to why not).
Officer Sherrard had served with the Richardson Police Department for 13 years. He is survived by his wife and two daughters. Rest in Peace.
