Support the US Marshal Tommy Weeks Jr. Memorial Fund

During the afternoon of April 29th, four officers were killed and four others were injured in a gun battle as they served a fugitive arrest warrant at a house in Charlotte, North Carolina. Three of the slain officers were members of the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force: North Carolina Department of Adult Correction’s Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott and Deputy US Marshal Thomas Weeks. Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department officer and six-year veteran Joshua Eyer was also killed in the tragedy.

With his family's blessing, this fundraiser is established to support Deputy Tommy Weeks' wife and four children.

Deputy Weeks started his career with the United States Marshals Service (USMS) in February 2011, serving in the District of Columbia’s Superior Court, Washington, DC, before transferring to Charlotte, NC, in November 2014. Prior to his tenure with USMS, he dedicated eight years to Customs and Border Protection, embodying a total of 13 years of unwavering service to our nation. Deputy Weeks served with distinction in the Western District of North Carolina for the past decade.
