U.S. Marshals K-9 Rocky Shot but Survives After Locating Robert Lee Davis III, Killer of Deputy Jesus Vargas in Houston
Jan 16, 2025, 01:11 PM
In Houston, Texas, a U.S. Marshals Service K-9 named Rocky was shot twice but is expected to survive after locating Robert Lee Davis III, who was hiding in a dumpster. Davis had earlier killed Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jesus Vargas while the deputy was attempting to serve an arrest warrant. Following a six-hour manhunt, K-9 Rocky alerted officers to Davis's location, leading to a confrontation where Davis shot the dog before being killed by police in a subsequent shootout. Deputy Vargas, a 17-year veteran, was fatally shot in the head and is survived by his wife and three children. Davis had an extensive criminal history, including charges of burglary, evading arrest, escape, aggravated robbery, and aggravated sexual assault.
