While driving home at the end of his shift, Deputy Rakes observed a vehicle stopped in the roadway with a male occupant. When he stopped to see if he needed help, the man opened fire and struck and killed Deputy Rakes.
The accused shooter was later arrested in Campbellsville, Kentucky, and charged with murder.
Deputy Rakes served with the Marion County Sheriff's Office (Kentucky) for six years. He had served previously for two years with the Lebanon Police Department (Kentucky).
There are 57 tributes for Deputy Carl Anthony Rakes.
May thoughts and prayers be with everyone through these hard time.
