HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A sergeant with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office was killed Monday in a hit-and-run crash during an off-duty motorcycle escort, the agency announced.

Sgt. Ramon Gutierrez died in the collision, according to a Monday tweet by Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. The driver fled the scene but has since been located, the Washington Examiner reported.

“It is with heavy hearts that we sadly announce the passing of our HCSO Sergeant,” Gonzalez tweeted. “May he Rest in Peace. He will be missed.”

Gutierrez, 45, was not on his bike at the time of the crash, according to the sheriff. He was on foot and blocking the exit ramp when he was struck by the suspect.

The hit-and-run driver was not identified, but said to be a 40-year-old woman who showed signs of impairment, Gonzalez said.

She has been charged with intoxication assault of a police officer and failure to stop and render aid, according to Fox News.

Gutierrez was airlifted to Memorial Hermann hospital in critical condition following the crash, but did not survive. The 20-year law enforcement veteran is survived by his wife, a daughter, and two sons.

Chief Mike Lee tweeted that Harris County Sheriff’s Office is “grieving the loss” of Gutierrez who served for the past 13 years in the Vehicular Crimes Division.
