Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Trooper Locker. Your killers never received true justice for your murder. However in San Antonio Texas ,1987 the one who only got 5 years was gunned down in a south side bar in San Antonio. I was one of the first officers to arrive for the call. Karma found him.
Rest in peace Trooper Locker.

Travis was my Dad’s cousin. I was only 12 years old when this happened. I believe I heard after this incident that the law enforcement murders were made a capital offense? RIP Travis.

I will never forget the night Aunt Alice called to tell my Dad that his brother had been shot, but she said he was going to be alright. When she went back to check on him he had died. Uncle Travis was a fun loving man. He has been missed so much. Now my Grandparents and all their Children are together again I pray. Miss you and love you all.

I was young when this happened, but I remember my grandfather was a member of the Ellis County S.O. at the time. He was just diagnosed with cancer and went in to work dispatch for the manhunt. It was possibly the largest manhunt in Ellis County history. Trooper Locker was a well liked citizen of Waxahachie, and is still remembered. RIP Trooper. You did your job well.

I never knew Travis but went to schoold with his son Wade . I remember the massive manhunt to find his killers and amazingingly they escaped the manhunt but were later caught around San Antonio. It was a travesty that left Waxahachie in schock , that such a brutal attack could happen in our small town . May he ever rest in peace and may his family always treasure his memory as does the community he served.

Travis was my best friend. He spent many week ends at my home as we were growing up. We went to Methodist Youth Fellowship togeather. We also lived in Waco Texas at the same time after finishing high school. He was like a brother to me. He was the kind of young man every parent would dream their son would turn out to be.I will always have fond memories of him. GOD BLESS

I just discovered that Officer Locker is related to me. I was very sad to learn of his death while on duty. My husband retired from Inglewood PD, CA and my son is currently a LA Co. Deputy. I know how proud I am of them and am also proud of Patrolman Travis Locker. This is a very dangerous profession. I am sorry for the sacrafice the Locker Family has made with this death and appreciate every Officer in their daily duties.
