Deputy Jesse Tyler
Grand County Sheriff Jesse Tyler was shot and killed on May 26, 1900 by "Kid Curry" Harvey Logan not quite two months after the Sheriff killed "Flatnose" George Currie.
Sheriff Tyler and Deputy Samuel Jenkins were shot and killed in a shootout with the outlaw known as Kid Curry.
Kid Curry was suspected of being involved with the murders of five law enforcement officers: Sheriff Josiah Hazen of the Converse County Sheriff's Department, Wyoming; Deputy Samuel Jenkins and Sheriff Jesse Tyler of the Grand County Sheriff's Department, Utah; and Patrolman Robert Saylor and Patrolman William Dinwiddie of the Knoxville Police Department, Tennessee. - via the Utah Peace Officer Association
