The Graveyard Shift extends our condolences to the families of the brave officers who lost their lives while working to keep us safe.

February 3, 2013 – Officer Keith Lawrence and his fiancee Monica Quan were shot and killed as they pulled into the parking lot of their apartment complex.

Quan’s father had represented the killer during his review hearing prior to his dismissal.

February 16, 2013 – Officer Josh Lynaugh suffered a fatal heart attack while in foot pursuit of a criminal suspect. Officer Lynaugh managed to capture, handcuff, and place the suspect in his patrol car before being transported to the hospital where he eventually passed away.
