Fort Worth Police Officer Brian Gentry Dies After On-Duty Medical Emergency

The department didn’t release additional details about the medical emergency or Gentry’s cause of death.

“The loss of a member of our department is deeply personal,” Chief Eddie Garcia said in a statement. “Brian was one of our own and his passing will be felt by the many people who had the privilege of working alongside him and calling him a friend.”

Garcia said the department would support Gentry’s family and fellow officers. Police didn’t announce funeral arrangements as of Wednesday afternoon. Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker ordered city flags to be flown at half-staff following the officer’s death.
