HOUSTON -- Funeral arrangements have been set for a Houston police officer who was fatally hit while investigating a wreck.
Houston police Officer Kevin S. Will, 38, was hit by a car on the North Loop East near the 5600 block of Yale Street about 3:45 a.m. Sunday. A visitation will be held at the Klein Forest Funeral Home, 16131 Champion Forest Drive, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday. Will's funeral was scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday at Champion Forest Baptist Church, 15555 Stuebner-Airline Road. A private burial service will follow. Johoan Rodriguez, 26, was charged with intoxication manslaughter of a peace officer, evading arrest in a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. Court records listed Rodriguez as an illegal immigrant from Honduras. He is being held without bond. Detectives said Rodriguez drove through a police barricade that blocked the freeway. Officers chased Rodriguez, but he crashed into Will before he could be stopped, police said. Investigators said Rodriguez had a .238 blood alcohol level, which is three times over the legal limit. Will left behind a wife who is seven months pregnant and two stepchildren, 7 and 10 years old. His son is due in August. Kevin Will had been with the Houston Police Department since September 2009. He joined the department after a career in banking. Will pushed another man out of the way when he saw the car careening toward him. "Officer Will sacrificed his own life to save the life of a citizen," said Gary Blankinship, president of the Houston Police Officers Union.
