Law enforcement offi cers
Sunday night shot and killed
a suspect who is believed to
have killed Cowlitz County
sheriff’s deputy Justin DeR-
osier nearly 24 hours earlier,
Cowlitz County Sheriff Brad
Thurman said .
The suspect, whose iden-
tity was not made public,
was seen tromping out of the
woods wet and dirty with a
fi rearm on Spencer Creek
Road. Two lawmen shot him
and he was declared dead
at the scene, Thurman said.
The shooting took place
around 7 p.m. and neither
offi cer involved was injured.
Investigators had identi-
fi ed the suspect after inter-
viewing two brothers, one of
whom was seen coming out
Visibly
emotional ,
Cowlitz County Undersher-
iff Darren Ullmann said the
fallen deputy’s daughter is
“always going to know what
an incredible man her father
was.”
“Most of us have known
him most of his life. There
were few cops who wanted
to be a cop more than Justin
did. He loved his job. He was
incredibly good at it. And as
you can imagine, as I’m obvi-
ously showing, this is very
personal for our agency.... I
had a lot of hope and plans
for Justin. I saw him working
his way up in this department
very rapidly.... Justin was a
bull in a china shop.... He had
a presence that couldn’t be
overlooked. He will be with
us forever. And he will be
truly missed.”

in it,” he said, struggling to
remain composed.
Sarah Bue, a Kelso res-
ident who attended high
school with Justin DeRosier,
came to the vigil with her
10-year-old son, Elijah, to
support the DeRosier family.
“I can’t imagine what his
family is going through. I
have known him a long time.
I feel so bad for his wife and
little girl. It really hits home
for me,” Bue said.
The vigil was arranged
by Katie Fowler, of
Longview, at the instigation
of her 9-year-old son, Chase
Sanger, after they discussed
the case in the car on the way
home.
“He said, ‘Mom, we have
to do something.’ This is what
we do. There are bad people
out there. This just shows that
we won’t back down. Our
community is strong.”

About 200 to 300 peo-

“I never met anyone who

a reporter, describing his

watching “Cops” as a boy.
“He was a true hero, but
