Robert P. Larson served in the U.S. Army.
Agent Robert Larson was shot and killed after an undercover narcotics purchase went bad. After Agent Larson got into the suspect's vehicle, they drove away. Agent Larson's backup officers lost track of the vehicle as a result. Agent Larson's body was found in a motel room a short time later with three bullet wounds. The drug dealer intended to rob Agent Larson instead of selling him drugs. The suspect and an accomplice were apprehended a short time later. The suspect was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Agent Larson was a U.S. Army veteran and had been in law enforcement for over ten years.

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 Larson gave the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office 10 years.
Thank you for your service to the Las Cruces community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
