A Texas man has been charged with killing Sandeep Dhaliwal, America’s first turbaned Sikh police officer to death, by a jury.

Sandeep Dhaliwal, who was the first Sikh deputy for the Harris county department, was killed in the line of duty in September 2019 when he had pulled up a man for his arrest over violation of parole.

“Verdict is in: Jurors sentence Robert Solis to death. We are extremely grateful that justice has been served. Sandeep changed our Sheriff’s Office family for the better, and we continue striving to live up to his example of servant leadership. May he Rest In Peace,” Harris county sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted.

тАЬThe defendant executed a uniformed deputy by shooting him in the head in broad daylight. That makes him the worst of the worst, which is why we asked jurors to sentence him to death,тАЭ Harris county district attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement.
