On May 2, 2018 Seattle Police Officer Anthony Ducre responded to an industrial area in Kent, Washington to assist Kent Police Department with their search for Giovanni Dashawn Herrin, who had just escaped from Kent County Jail and was thought to be hiding in an industrial warehouse.

Less than two months after this incident, Herrin was arrested and charged with the murder of Karyme Barreto-Sabalza, his girlfriend of a few months. Herrin was accused of luring Barreto-Sabalza into a wooded area of a Kent park on June 16, 2018, shooting her once in the head at close range, taking her purse and cell phone, and then using her car to take himself to an ATM, where he helped himself to money from her bank account.

Not long after his murder arrest, Herrin was secured to a hospital bed in the emergency room of Seattle's Harborview Medical Center. It was the third time in a row Herrin had complained of feeling ill due to bad drugs he allegedly ingested behind bars, and two corrections officers were assigned to keep watch over the alleged murderer.

According to an incident report, when one guard went to use the restroom and the other "became distracted for approximately 10 to 15 seconds," the then-19-year-old escaped from his restraints and left the hospital.

The escape ended when two officers from King County Jail located Herrin on Eighth Avenue and Yesler Way and shot Herrin in the shoulder.

Herrin is currently a resident of King County Correctional Facility on charges of homicide, attempt to elude, first degree murder, escape, robbery, theft, and criminal trespass.

    I like how the dog gave him a look as to say "What do you mean search? He's right here!"
  • @GS-ef9ok
    He was so happy when he realized the dog found the guy... only 2 months in the field!

    "If there are no dogs in Heaven, I want to go where they went." Will Rogers R.I.P Officer Jedi. January 5th, 2022. Thank you for your service and devotion.

    ❤️ the K9’s. Update: Just read that Jedi passed away. I’m heartbroken. Glad to know the suspect responsible for his death ended in the same manner. RIP Jedi… you are my hero and will forever be missed.
  • I really enjoy the switch from professional officer voice to "DASSA GOODBOOOOYYYYY!!!!!"
  • @12beemer34
    "If he's looking at a wall it's not cause he's stupid or anything." Best K9 description ever. 🤣
  • @kimichan5
    Oh my gosh I loved it when the dog was climbing up on the boat and the handler said “hey, search” and the dog just looked at him like “for real? I’ve found him!” And then boom! The guy was in there. So epic. Good work everyone! 👏

    I am so sincerely, crushed to see that Jedi was killed. I was employed by DEA for 31 years, and although I was not the dog handler, we had many men and many different dogs during the course of my employment. After watching these brave animals, I stood in awe of each separate dog. Each one has their own personality just like a child yet they are so focused on their job and ready to give their life for their trainer. I love animals so much especially dogs to lose a trained animal is so difficult they are expensive to train, but they become such a good friend just like a human being, and they deserve our respect while performing their duties, just like the men they work with. I am so sorry to hear that Jedi was killed by a cowardly individual. I pray that this criminal gets what he deserves. God bless you Jedi and may you rest in peace. Thank God for our courageous police force whether men, women, or animals. God bless you all and stay safe.

    That dog was so darn proud of him self, carrying that ball back to the car! And then comes the handler, and is even prouder! Love it 💙
  • Him saying “good boy” so excited brought a smile to my face.
  • @floaty02
    RIP Jedi. You did good community work. Sad you were taken in the line of duty. Rest easy.
  • You can hear how proud the Officer is of his partner K-9 Officer Jedi. This Officer is pumped and proud.
  • @The_editor28
    We need k9 with cameras. I’ll watch all day 😂 just imagine that perspective 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
  • @rwiii5115
    "Watch him, watch him" "Bark bark" looks back like "like that? Is that good? "Bark bark" Man i love k9s.
  • @haitaoliu9743
    I watched this video several months ago and was very impressed by Jedi. Very sad and upset to learn that Jedi was stabbed and killed by a lunatic criminal. R.I.P.
  • @CarlaHanson68
    RIP Jedi, you will most definitely be missed. Officer Ducre, I'm happy that you are alright and I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend and fellow officer. ❤️❤️❤️

    Jedi walks up to the Sgt with the toy in his mouth like, 'I got a toy.'
  • @nutsbutdum
    10:52 The dog looked back at his handler like:"Here's here. You want me to f*ck him up or nah!?"
  • @sint5990
    I love that he talked back when Dad wasn’t picking up on what he was trying to show him. What a team!
  • @marshabrady1512
    As an owner of a German Shepherd, I love watching these videos. This breed is so stinking smart and they truly love having a job to do...even regular domestic pets...mine helps us protect our backyard chickens from predators and loves getting praise every time he scares away a nasty fox or possum prowling around the coop🥰
