“Our biker unit joined with other agencies to escort the body of Officer Daniel Vazquez to a funeral home this morning,” the sheriff’s office said in a tweet. “This Wednesday seems a bit quieter everywhere…Rest In Peace Officer.”
Clay County Attorney’s Office accused Joshua T. Rocha, 24, with first-degree murder Wednesday in the death of Vasquez.
Rocha admitted to killing Vasquez during an interview with KCPD investigators because he did not want to go to jail or have his car towed, according to court documents.
