SUMMARY: A state house committee has approved House Bill 137, the Gabe Torres Act, named after Raleigh police officer Gabriel Torres, who was killed in the 2022 Hedingham shooting while en route to work. The bill aims to clarify that officers are eligible for death benefits if they die in the line of duty while commuting. Previously, state lawmakers considered a similar bill in 2023, but it stalled in the Senate. Torres’s family faced a two-year legal struggle for benefits, highlighting the need for this legislation. The bill will next be reviewed by the House Appropriations Committee.

House Bill 137, or the “Gabe Torres Act,” would make it clear in state law that an officer on their way to or from work is eligible for death benefits if they die in the line of duty.
