WATCH: Funeral services for fallen DPS Special Agent Anthony Carlos Salas
EL PASO, Texas – Funeral services will take place Friday, Jan. 27th at 11 a.m. for fallen DPS Special Agent Anthony Salas.
According to the department, DPS Special Agent Anthony Salas, 37, was involved in a 'tragic accident' near Eagle Pass while working on a tactical mission in Maverick County on Friday.
Special Agent Salas was previously stationed in El Paso. He also served in the United States Marine Corps.
Texas DPS reached out to ABC-7 to broadcast the services on kvia.com.
I didn’t know him, but some of my old crew that were born and raised here did. Our office sent a delegation.
R.I.P. May God bless your soul and protect your family. Thank you for serving our country and our great state of Texas.
You will be missed but NEVER forgotten.
Wasn’t the accident caused by an illegal?
The accident was caused by a Border Patrol officer who failed to place the truck in park and put the emergency parking brake on.
Sad loss that shouldn’t have happened. Texas DPS officers have no jurisdiction or business involving themselves in federal immigration matters. Greg Abbott is directly responsible for the death of this fine officer.
