The City of Dallas is mourning the loss of Officer Floyd Alexander Knight, a two-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, who was tragically killed in the line of duty while on an assignment in the 800 block of North Edgefield Avenue. The department revealed the sorrowful news through a social media post, honoring Officer Knight and marking his passing with the hashtag #GoneButNotForgotten.
Officer Knight joined the DPD ranks with aspirations to make a difference in his community. His service was cut short by an act of violence that took his life and marked another grim addition to the city's statistics of fallen officers. The loss is not only professional but also deeply personal, as he leaves behind a wife who expected their child and a daughter who now must navigate the world without her father. Her son, who was born just days after the tragedy, will never know the brave man who was Floyd Alexander Knight.
In the wake of this tragedy, the Dallas Police Department has not released further details regarding the circumstances leading to Officer Knight's death, maintaining a focus on the officer's commitment to service and the void left behind in both his family and the law enforcement community.
