Game Warden’s Sacrifice Honored in TV Special

Justin Hurst, an El Campo game warden killed in the line of duty, will be featured on Oxygen Network’s Prosecuting Evil with Kelly Seigler this Saturday at 7 p.m. Hurst died in March of ’07, in a shootout near Lissie after a high-speed chase. His family, still in El Campo, participated in the episode, along with a fellow game warden who was there that night. His killer was convicted and executed in ’16. A memorial stands in Legacy Park honoring his sacrifice.
