Body

Van Zandt County Constable Precinct 2 Heath Burton stands at attention with a salute along Interstate 20 to pay his respects to Lorenzo Bustos, a 29-year-old Smith County Sheriff’s Deputy who lost his life in the line of duty during the early morning hours of July 29. Bustos was reportedly in the midst of a traffic stop when he was struck by a drunk driver subsequently identified as 21-year-old Daniel Nyenze Nyabuto of Grand Prairie. Nyabuto has been charged with intoxication manslaughter. Other Van Zandt County first responders also paid their respects as Bustos’ body was being transported. Photo by Nick Gibbons/The County Eagle
