Deputy dies from COVID-19

COVID-19 has touched many lives across the nation and here at home in Houston.  The Harris County Sheriff's Office has reported a number of positive cases among its ranks.  But Sgt. Raymond Scholwinski was the first casualty.  The 70 year-old deputy had been with HCSO since 1979.  I was assigned to cover his death and wasn't sure which direction I'd go.  I got word that some of his colleagues would gather at the substation where he worked.  One of them was particularly emotional as she recalled Sgt. Scholwinski.
