(Video grab, Fox News)

HOUSTON – Investigators say an off-duty Harris County deputy constable was shot after getting into an argument with a pimp over money following sex with a prostitute.
Capital murder charges have been filed against 31-year-old Lee Eldridge Sonier, the alleged pimp, and 40-year-old Judy Lucille Hambrick, the alleged prostitute.
According to a probable cause affidavit released Friday, Hambrick performed a sex act on 47-year-old Deputy Constable Ronnie Earl Brewer in his car early Tuesday morning. Afterward, Sonier got into an argument with Brewer over money and then shot him.
The affidavit says Sonier and Hambrick might have been planning to rob Brewer.
Police say that after the shooting, Hambrick stole Brewer’s handgun, which was later recovered.
Online court documents show the two suspects remain in custody, and no attorneys are listed.

I'm not going to speculate as to what or why it happened... But I will say that one of our fellow lawmen was taken by a scumbag a$$hole pimp!!!..%#@>?>:?)*^$!~!!!!!! The fact that it happened in Texas, will no doubt exact the type of justice that he (pimp) and his woriking girl deserves...

You live by the sword you die by the sword, it's sad that he got himself killed when he should have been arresting her for prostitution, hopefully LEO's out here learn a lesson from this but it's sad but some will not.

The same thing happened several years back in Houston. That time it was a vetern Deputy Sheriff. In that case the prostitute flagged him down, he was in uniform off duty in his vette. Houston area lawman need to remember to stay away from the street girls! SAD

What a sad set of circumstances here. It's a double edge sword which cuts even deeper.

Sad that this sort of thing would happen to any man, let alone a law enforcement professional...at least, if it was destined to happen, that it did so in TEXAS, where the punishment fits the crime. I hope his attackers meet Texas style punishment, and soon.
