Restaurants in several North Texas cities Monday will be part of the continuing support for the family of a Little Elm police officer fatally shot in the line of duty.
Detective Jerry Walker, 48, was shot during a standoff Jan 17. He was the first officer in the history of the Little Elm force to be killed in the line of duty.
He left behind four children ranging in age from to 22-years-old to a few months.
Special t-shirts sold today between 5-9 p.m. at 11 Chick-Fil-A restaurants will support Det. Walker's family. The #LittleElmBig Hero t-shirt will cost $10 each.
A page on Facebook lists all the participating restaurants from Crossroads to the Colony, Corinth, Denton, Flower Mound, Frisco, Mansfield and Plano.
Cousins BBQ, 9560 Feather Grass Lane in Fort Worth, will also participate.
Monetary donations will also be accepted.
