On May 3, 1993, Deputy Kent Hintergardt (Riverside County, California, Sheriff’s Office) was murdered by Mark Kamaka in Temecula, California, while responding to a domestic violence call. Kamaka had just strangled his girlfriend, Allison Jacobs, to death before he exited the apartment and shot Deputy Hintergardt, who was waiting for backup in the parking lot. Kamaka then killed himself a short time later. Tragic incidents like this one are far too commonplace and serve as a reminder that no call for service, especially a call related to domestic violence, should be taken lightly.
