The monument on West Dove Road honors Texas Troopers Edward Bryan Wheeler and H.D. Murphy, who were shot to death by Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow on Easter Sunday, April 1, 1934. Wheeler and Murphy stopped their motorcycles near Parker and Barrow’s car, thinking a motorist needed help, but were shot when they approached.
