We are deeply saddened to share the loss of Deputy Jesus Vargas, who faithfully served the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office for 17 years. Deputy Vargas was shot and killed in the line of duty. He was a dedicated public servant, known for his integrity, compassion, and commitment to our community.

Our hearts go out to Deputy Vargas’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. We also stand with our Sheriff’s Office family as we grieve this loss together.
