(WBAP/KLIF) — The man who shot a North Richland Hills police officer is found…20 years later.
Mark Alan Long was linked by authorities using DNA evidence to identify him as the man who shot a North Texas officer. However, Long is suspected of committing suicide as police closed in for an arrest. The man was found dead, Sunday, near a cell tower in Southeast Oklahoma City. A medical examiner is expected to determine his exact cause of death.
In March 2003, officer Jeff Garner was shot in the ankle after pulling Long over for a minor traffic violation. Long had just robbed a bank prior to the shooting.
