A person of interest is in custody after the deadly ambush of a Harris County sheriff's deputy, fatally gunned down without warning Friday night while filling up his patrol car at a northwest Harris County gas station.

We've learned the person of interest is inside the Harris County Sheriff's Office in east Houston and continues to be questioned in the the case.

No one has been charged and the search continues for the suspect.

Deputy Darren Goforth, 47, has just left an accident scene when he stopped by a gas station on Telge and West Road. As he was pumping gas, a man approached him from behind, said nothing and fired multiple shots. Once the deputy fell to the ground, the suspect fired more shots. Deputy Goforth was pronounced dead on the scene.

An intense manhunt covered Harris County for hours overnight. At about 2:30am, authorities converged on a home on Crystal Lake in Copperfield, led there by a tip. The focus of the investigation is on the red pickup truck in the home's driveway. The person of interest was taken into custody at what's said to be his mother's house. His identity has not been released.

The man's mother -- who didn't want to show her face or give her name -- tells Eyewitness News her son is innocent. She said, "My son is innocent. I was in the house with him, so when that happened, my son was home."

Try him and fry him and my guess it is a white boy or Hispanic. Blacks are not into red pickup trucks or very few are.

[In God I trust]

Gee it looks like a “dark complected” “teen” to me. Oh wait, isn’t that a BLACK MAN?!!!!!! The media is a pathetic joke and dangerous to society.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

That’s weird. Mom turns him in, then provides him an alibi? Maybe she didn’t want the SWAT team destroying their domicile?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

No, they’ve been banned, remember, in order to fix the racial divide.

Want to reduce gun violence?

Deport the Amish.

“My son is innocent. I was in the house with him, so when that happened, my son was home.”

Damn, yet another doppelgänger committing a crime and framing an innocent man who, no doubt, was just turning his life around.

I hate those damned evil doppelgängers.

[Moonman62]

Situational awareness out there everybody.

...

Good advice, but sometimes there is nothing you can do.

However, I recommend not electing politicians, like Obama, who inspire racial hatred.

Mother’s house looks like it’s in a not bad neighbourhood. I was a little surprised by that, as she sounds like a fool.
You think she actually made the downpayment and closing costs, PLUS pays the mortgage AND the taxes?
There are over a dozen state and Federal programs that allow poooooooor minorities to live in almost any neighborhood - whether they can afford it or not.
These programs always attract the worst and most irresponsible bottom feeders - and in no time a "not bad" neighborhood becomes a crap hole.

the version on CNN i looked at featured a happy McDonalds commercial of Negroes all happy all eating all Negroe---no Caucasoids. I have to say "Negroes" because I don't know if they were "African American" or Haitian American, or even american, or caribbian american, or not american, or Dominican american, or american dominican, or hispanic american negroe, or the creature from the african american lagoon or the creature from the african american saloon, or---really---what. see? As a former detective, in case you're wondering how i feel about this fine man and sergeant of officers being murdered by a low life scum islamist sympathizers---don't.

I’ve forgotten what they call the gun power test but that test will tell if he has fired a gun recently.

[Reverend Saltine]

dirty b_______s

[null and void]

He looks black. Can’t be!

[Rome2000]

Actually, this is Abe Lincolns fault.

After the illegals are dealt with, this is the next problem that needs to be solved.

[healy61]

Why does my phone camera take better pictures?

[Ann Archy]

Obama’s sons strike again!! He must be VERY proud.....actually he probably is.

[elpadre]

can someone tell me why Farrakhan is not locked up??? This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. This is inciting violence.

[Alas Babylon!]

I think there are millions of good black Americans who are just as American as you or I. To say they ALL aren’t Americans is just plain wrong. I served 22 years in the USAFR, and knew many a fine black airman who loved their country more than the vast majority who would never serve.

I do agree that vote wrong—95% FOR Obama?!—tribally, but that is due to the press and the professional race baiters who, with their constant propaganda, are destroying the country.

I pray both they and you see the light.
