In Memory of Carson City Sheriff's Office Deputy Carl Howell
Carson City Sheriff's Office Deputy Carl Howell, a nine-year veteran of the Carson City Sheriff's Office and a former United States Marine, was killed in the line of duty on this day, Aug. 15, 2015.
The following is from the Northern Nevada Chapter of COPS:
Seven years ago, Deputy Sheriff Carl Howell was shot and killed while responding to a domestic battery call on the 4100 block of Montez Drive in east Carson City at approximately 2:20 am.
The first deputies to arrive on scene located an injured woman in front of the home. As other deputies checked on the woman's injuries, Deputy Howell approached the home to speak to the male subject. The subject ambushed Deputy Howell at the front door, mortally wounding him. Despite the wound, Deputy Howell was able to return fire and killed the subject.
Deputy Howell was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Carson City Sheriff's Office for nine years. He is survived by his wife, four children, and two stepchildren.
We are thankful for the life and legacy of Deputy Howell and are honored to keep his memory alive.
