TERRELL POLICE OFFICER KILLED ON DUTY

per FOX 4

A Terrell police officer was shot and killed while on duty late Sunday night in a motel parking lot.

According to the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office, Officer Jacob Candanoza, 28, was shot around 11 p.m. in the parking lot of the Super 8 Motel on the 1600 block of TX-34 South, near Interstate 20.

Police said Candanoza encountered a man in a pickup truck in the parking lot, where a struggle ensued.

The suspect shot Candanoza during the altercation and fled the scene in a gray Chevrolet Colorado pickup with Mississippi license plates, heading east on I-20.

Candanoza was taken to a hospital in Forney where he died from his injuries.

Deputies spotted the truck near the Kaufman and Van Zandt County line, starting a chase. The suspect eventually crashed the vehicle and fled on foot into a wooded area. He was taken into custody.

At a press conference held early Monday at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Forney, Terrell Police Chief described Candanoza as a husband and father of a young child.

PRAYERS FOR HIS FAMILY AND HIS DEPARTMENT 🙏

Beloved K-9 Officer Max to Be Honored After Passing Following Medical Evaluation

It is with great sadness that the Terrell Police Department shares the loss of one of its most dedicated and courageous members, K-9 Officer Max. After a recent decline in health, Max underwent extensive medical evaluations at the Texas A&M Veterinary Center in College Station. Unfortunately, tests revealed a terminal condition, and the difficult decision was made to allow Max to pass peacefully.

Max was not just a K-9 officer; he was a loyal partner to his handler, Officer Anders, and a vital member of the police force. Known for his unwavering dedication, Max played a key role in numerous operations, serving as a symbol of bravery and commitment to the community.

A public memorial to honor K-9 Officer Max is being planned for later this week, giving the community a chance to come together and celebrate his life. Details about the memorial will be announced soon.

We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Officer Anders, the police department, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with Max. The loss of such a devoted partner is immeasurable, but the strength and unity of our community will carry us through.

I’VE NEVER USED A TRAVEL AGENT BEFORE. HOW DOES THIS WORK??

I get this all the time!! Here’s the deal….I do all the heavy lifting and you just pay and go on vacay!! You could plan it yourself, but WHY??? In most cases, I don’t charge you anything, so I do all the research, planning, and vacay coordinating, answer all your questions, and am “by your side” the entire time before, during, and after travel. If something goes awry, I'm right there to help you handle it.

SO HOW DO YOU GET PAID?

I get paid a commission AFTER you travel by who you choose to travel with. That cost is built into every single vacay…even if you use the big dot coms, hotels direct, etc…those corporations just pocket that profit, and you don’t get any personalized help. You can call their 1-800 numbers, but you’ll likely have to wait a while, and then there’s a 50/50 chance the phone agent can even help. Your time is worth way more than that.

By utilizing my professional services, you receive my individualized personal attention from start to finish. Your vacay is my vacay!! You don’t pay anything more and support a small, local, woman-owned business!!

F

I work for you at no additional cost!

I’m up waiting on the Maldives reservation department to open at 9am their time, which is 10 pm my time.

Travel agents provide customer service that those 1800 call centers or 3rd party websites can’t provide. When you book with me you get a personal relationship and someone to help you through the entire travel process, not just the booking.

My services are free to you! My commission is already built into your vacation price! Let me help you save money and guide you every step of the way!
