| Former HPD cop Dennis Redding Charged With Murder |
Hitchcock, Texas
If you ever plan a fishing trip, it’s probably not a good idea to include former Houston police officer Dennis Redding. That’s because Redding has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Dr. Mark K. Holcomb, an oral surgeon in Webster, after the two paired-up for a fishing trip.

Investigators say the incident took place at Holcomb’s home in Hitchcock during a fishing weekend. The two men, according to police, were old friends. Apparently, they had experienced a quarrel at some point and were trying to re-kindle their friendship. Looks like it didn’t work out.
Authorities are trying to determine whether the two men argued before the gunfire around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Holcomb died later at a Galveston hospital.
Jail records did not list an attorney for Redding.

I am so sad to hear this. I was a patient of Dr. Holcomb and he was fantastic.
I went to school with Dennis. He was a good guy but that has been a long time.
It has also been a long time since he was with HPD (1978). So, I'm trying to figure out how you're labeling him as a bad cop.
