Jacksonville Native Killed In Line Of Duty
62-Year-Old Deputy Shot During Domestic Violence Call In Mississippi
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville native working as a deputy in Mississippi is now a fallen hero.
Deputy DeWayne Crenshaw was killed in the line of duty Friday on a domestic violence call near Ripley, Miss.
Franklin Fitzpatrick, 26, who was arrested in the shooting of the Vietnam veteran, faces capital murder charges.
"He spent his life protecting his country and the public," said Denzell Sapp, Crenshaw's brother-in-law. "That's what he wanted to do. That's what he did."
Crenshaw's family said he did nothing but serve in his 62 years of life. He was awarded two purple hearts as a U.S. Army paratrooper in Vietnam. He worked as the corrections officer at a prison.
And most recently, he worked as a sheriff's deputy in northern Mississippi.
