Deputy Ursin's parents speak to honor him as investigators work hard to find his killer.
Precinct 3 Deputy Constable’s parents are speaking out to honor their son and in hopes of catching his killer. Precinct 3 Deputy Omar Ursin was shot and killed while off duty in northeast Harris County near West Lake Houston Parkway."He went to get dinner for his wife, Whitney," cries Deputy Ursin’s mom Yvonne Ursin. The couple has 7-year-old daughter. "That’s when we started getting worried and started looking for him," explains the deputy’s dad, Royal Ursin Jr.
"He enjoyed himself. We played. We laughed," adds the deputy’s sister, Yani Ross. Loved ones had no idea it would be the deputy's last birthday. "To the person that did this, you’ve taken more than a friend, more than a brother. You’ve taken a part of everyone’s heart. He would be upset to see me sad and crying. If he was here, and he saw me sitting here crying, he would definitely tell me some encouraging words to make me smile.
"We don’t know if it was road rage. We don’t know if it has something to do with him being law enforcement," says Sgt. Dennis Wolfford with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Division.
