Incident

Officer Leonard Mullenax was shot and killed while on an undercover operation to buy illegal alcohol at the Sherman Hotel at 250-1/2 Elm Street. During the purchase, a struggle ensued, and Officer Mullenax was shot three times by the suspect. The man was not indicted for the murder because there were not enough witnesses. Officer Mullenax was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of the Korean War and had served with the Dallas Police Department for eight years. He was survived by his wife and daughter. The Dallas Police Department posthumously awarded Officer Mullenax the Police Medal of Honor and the Police Cross.

Tributes

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Officer Mullenax gave the Dallas Police Department 8 years.
Thank you for your service to the Dallas community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
