Message from Chief Eddie Garcia: It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of Officer Brian Gentry #3403. On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, while on-duty, Brian experienced a medical emergency and went to a local hospital emergency room. He was abruptly admitted to the ICU and passed away hours later on October 21, 2026. Brian has been with the department since 2004 and assigned to the Fugitive Unit as a U.S. Marshal’s Task Force Officer. The loss of a member of our department is deeply personal. Brian was one of our own, and his passing will be felt by the many people who had the privilege of working alongside him and calling him a friend. Our thoughts are with Brian’s family, loved ones, and fellow officers during this incredibly difficult time. As a department, we will come together to support one another and, most importantly, to support his family as they navigate this unimaginable loss. Please keep Brian’s family and the Fort Worth Police Department family close in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Funeral arrangements will be shared at a later date. Chief Eddie Garcia
