Richard "Rick" Daly - Law Enforcement - Georgia


Deputy Sheriff Richard (Rick) Daly, age 55, was shot and killed in the line of duty on July 20, 2011, in Clayton County, Georgia. 

Rick was with the Clayton County Sheriff's Office, in the state of Georgia, U.S.A.

Michael, Archangel, Patron
Saint of the Police, pray
for Richard Daly
A fugitive squad in an unmarked car identified a teenage suspect wanted on armed robbery charges and called on Deputy Daly in his marked cruiser to execute the traffic stop around 3:00 p.m. As Deputy Daly approached the passenger side of the vehicle where the suspect was, the suspect exited the vehicle and fired multiple shots that struck Rick Daly in locations not protected by his body armor. He was transported to the hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.  

The suspect fled the scene and remained at large for several hours before he was captured by a tactical team with the aid of a canine.

Deputy Daly had served in law enforcement for 25 years.

Pray for all who die in the line of duty. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Richard Daly is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
