On Tuesday, March 3, 2015, at approximately 7:18 p.m. Officer Jacob Gross of the Center Police Department was enroute to a call of an auto-pedestrian crash in the 700 block of Tenaha Street when he was diverted and asked to be enroute to the Center Place Apartments located at 705 Clifford Street in reference to a possible gunshot victim who had passed out.

Once on the scene Gross was informed that the call was medical only and was directed inside to one of the apartments where he observed 58-year old Joann Lockett, sitting in a chair not responding to family members. Gross did not observe any movement of Lockett's eyes and listened for breathing but did not detect any.

With the assistance of family members, Lockett was laid down on the floor where Gross began CPR. Gross continued to perform CPR until ACE EMS personnel Bobby Ritter and Steve Dudley arrived on scene began providing care.

After working on Lockett for several minutes a pulse was detected and once stable, she was transported to Nacogdoches Medical Center-ER in Center where she was seen by staff.

Lockett was transported for further care to Nacogdoches Medical Center.
