William Ross Stewart Jr..
Agent Bill Stewart was shot and killed as he and members of the Woodward Police Department conducted a narcotics operation at a local chain restaurant in Woodward. Agent Stewart and one of the detectives approached the suspect, who was sitting in a van parked in the parking lot. As the three talked, the man fired a 12-gauge shotgun, killing Agent Stewart and wounding the detective. The suspect fled the scene and buried the shotgun. He was arrested a short time later, and the murder weapon was recovered. The man was convicted of Agent Stewart's murder and sentenced to life in prison. He has a parole hearing in November 2016. Agent Stewart was a United States Navy Vietnam War veteran and had served with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control for 3 and a half years and previously served with the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.

In tribute
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.
Agent Stewart gave the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control 13 years.
Thank you for your service. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
