The Pima County Sheriff’s Department posthumously awarded medals to Deputy Timothy D. Graham and Mr. Dawud Isa Abusida in August 2005.

On August 10, 2005, at approximately 7:52pm, Deputy Timothy D. Graham responded to the Circle K located at Ajo Highway and Kinney Road; someone had reported a suspicious person. As Deputy Graham approached, the subject became increasingly irrational and combative and ran across Ajo Highway. Deputy Graham pursued the subject and caught up with him at the median on Ajo Highway. A physical altercation ensued. A passerby, identified as Mr. Dawud Isa Abusida, saw Deputy Graham struggling with the subject and stopped to assist. The altercation continued into the intersection where all three individuals were struck and killed by an oncoming vehicle.
