On Saturday, March 13, 2010, three individuals with ties to the U.S. Consulate were killed in Juarez, Mexico to include a U.S. couple shot to death as their baby who was unharmed sat in the back seat of the vehicle.
Among the victims was El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Detention Officer identified as Arthur Redelfs (34). Officer Redelfs was a 10 year veteran of the Sheriff’s Office assigned to the Downtown Detention Facility. Officer Redelf’s wife, a U.S. Consulate employee was Lesley Ann Enriquez. Both were traveling together in their Toyota Rav4 when they were shot & killed in front of Juarez City Hall. The El Paso County Sheriff's Officers Association has setup the scholarship in Mr. Redelfs' name to remember our fallen brother. |

TO OUR FALLEN BROTHER
By Gerardo Molinar 3/15/10
We stand together with a heavy heart and pray,
For the loss of our brother and his wife today.
Taken by a bunch of hoodlums’ and cowards,
Destroying a child by murdering her father and mother.
We find comfort with the Lord during this dark hour,
Knowing they’ll stand in judgment by a higher power.
Thank you for the kind sweet gentle souls you were,
For enriching our lives daily here on earth.
There are no words to try to make sense of all this,
As we come to terms with our loss and how you’ll be missed.
We’re only thankful for the life of your daughter,
She will always be here in our hearts and prayers my brother.
To your family we send our support and love,
Call on us in time of need and the Lord above.
We’ll remind your daughter how much you both loved her,
And try to shield her from this ugly world and hurt.
We say our last farewell to our fallen brother,
More determined to stand stronger against crime together.
And though at times it seems that we’re just not that strong,
Your memory will only make us take a stand to go on.
The love we had for you will always remain,
As we find comfort to know your are free from pain.
