----------------------------NEWS STORY (NBC SAND DIEGO)-------------------------------
Just moments before he was fatally wounded in an unprovoked attack, a San Diego police officer performed one last act of kindness; he bought a child food while buying his own dinner.

Jeremy Henwood, 36, stopped at the McDonald's in the 3800-block of Fairmount Avenue at 5:24 p.m. on Aug. 6. Surveillance video released Tuesday shows Henwood speaking with the boy and getting their food shortly before leaving the store at 5:27 p.m.

Shortly after 5:30 p.m., Henwood was shot while sitting inside his patrol car at the corner of University Avenue and 45th Street. Henwood had only made it six blocks from the McDonalds; it would be the last place he was seen alive.

Witnesses said a man pulled up on this side of Henwood's vehicle and shot him with a shotgun in what officials say was an unprovoked attack.

Henwood passed away at Scripps Mercy Hospital at 1:42 a.m. on Aug. 7.

Henwood, who served with SDPD for four years, was assigned to the Mid-City Division. He was also a Captain in the United States Marine Corps Reserves and had recently returned from deployment. During a memorial service in Point Loma on Aug. 12, Henwood was promoted to the rank of major.

The suspect in Henwood's shooting, whom police have identified as Dejon Marquee White, 23, was killed by police after a standoff outside a City Heights apartment building almost an hour after Henwood was shot.

  • I'm actually helping promote a documentary that interviews those who have fallen in the workforce and his family is one of them; it will be released right now in the fall. If you guys could follow on Twitter, add us on the Facebook page, and really get the word around, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Because of YouTube, you have to replace the DOT with an actual period. wwwDOTheroesbehindthebadgeDOTc­om/

  • Goddamn it, one of the decent cops got whacked.

    There aren't many decent cops as it is, or so it seems, and we lose one?

    Rest in piece, Officer Henwood.

  • @LibertyUSA1234 you got to watch what you say bro..your talking about your country. Without these "pigs" you won't be safe in this society. Rethink what you just said there. If you don't like the law, then go ahead and break it and get caught. Those "pigs" will be happy to take you to jail. One ungrateful American down..hopefully no more to go.

  • @LibertyUSA1234 Thanks cunt.

  • @myfunkychannel that was possibly the stupidest reply from someone i've ever had.

  • RIP you are a wonderful human being.

  • @MrWaffles414 im a dumbass? living in a country with the highest homocide cases yea whatever. everyone knows and looks at americans being dumb. and they are.

  • @Jenkz19

    Dude you have the worst spelling I've ever seen. You REALLY need to turn on your spellchecker.

  • Ge got the shotty...

  • @LibertyUSA1234 You dumb fuck, the law is the law, whether you agree with it or not doesn't change that fact, and braking the law has consiqunces, I really shouldnt have to be explaining this, no employer will listen too whining about how 'weed is like, really cool dude, and not that bad' the fact is if you knowingly brake the law, and where stupid enough to get caught doing so, and that my friend would make you a fucking idiot, if you don't like it you have the option to emigrate.
