Officer Julian Becerra died Saturday night just over a week after he fell from a 40-foot bridge while pursuing carjacking suspects, police say. The 35-year-old had been with the Fountain Police Department for over four years.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Colorado police officer has died just over a week after he was critically injured when he fell from a 40-foot bridge while pursuing suspects in a carjacking, the Fountain Police Department said.
A procession was held late Saturday to move his body from the hospital to the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, also in Colorado Springs, the department said.“We appreciate the public’s outpouring of support over the past week for Officer Becerra, his family and the Fountain Police Department,” police spokesperson Lisa Schneider said in a statement.
The driver got out of the car and Becerra followed. He fell from the bridge, landed in a riverbed and was critically injured, Cristiani said.
