Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad

It took Hank (Dean Norris) quite a while to figure out that the drug kingpin he’d been pursuing for so long was actually his own brother-in-law, but he couldn’t have had the revelation at a worse time. By the final season of Breaking Bad, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) had gotten in over his head when he started doing business with a group of ruthless Nazis.

For all intents and purposes, Hank was a good man, which made it even more upsetting to see him gunned down in the desert.
