Today, we gathered with families, survivors, and members of our community for the National Day of Remembrance for Homicide Victims.

Behind every name is a life, a family, and people who continue to carry the pain of someone taken from them too soon.

We remember them. We honor them. And we stand with the families who continue to seek healing, peace, and justice.

Grateful to Crime Stoppers of Houston for creating this meaning space for remembrance and for ensuring these lives are never forgotten. 🕊️

May God comfort every family carrying the weight of such an unimaginable loss. 🙏🏽💙

In memory of Deputy Sandeep Singh Dhaliwal: On September 27, 2019, Deputy Sandeep Dhaliwal was fatally shot during a traffic stop. He was known for his sense of humor and ability to make personal connections with his fellow deputies and the community he served.

In 2015, Deputy Dhaliwal received permission to wear his turban and beard in keeping with his Sikh religious faith, paving the way for others to do the same.

In 2017, Deputy Dhaliwal led a very successful effort by the United Sikhs of America to collect and distribute aid to those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. He also traveled to Puerto Rico on a post-hurricane aid mission.

Deputy Dhaliwal’s teammates describe him as being a vibrant and energetic deputy.
