the fallen cop. Let us hear from the fallen cop’s family member:
Summary: Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Bill
Davidson stopped a vehicle on U.S. 59 in Jackson County for having a broken
headlight. The driver of the vehicle, Ronald Ray Howard, shot Davidson in the
neck. The vehicle Howard was driving was stolen. Howard fled the scene of the
shooting, but he was arrested within a couple of hours with the murder weapon,
a nine millimeter handgun loaded with hollow point bullets, in his possession.
Howard confessed to killing the trooper and repeated his confession to a grand
jury.
Linda Davidson, Bill's widow, asked people to remember what a wonderful man her husband was - not what kind of person Howard could have become. “It helps knowing the son of a bitch got what he deserved,” she said of Howard. “Today justice has been served. It's real frustrating - the wheels of justice turn very slowly.”- Linda Davidson is the widow of Trooper Bill Davidson
