December 14, 2021 by Staff

The oldest daughter of police officer Richard Houston, who was killed Friday, Dec. 3, in the line of duty, said she harbors no resentment toward her father’s murderer. Rather, she only wants the suspect to know Jesus.

“My prayer is that someday down the road,” said 18-year-old Shelby Houston, speaking at her father’s funeral, “I get to spend some time with the man who shot my father. Not to scream at him, not to yell at him, not to scold him. Simply to tell him about Jesus.”
