The Fallen Officer: Trooper Kyle McAcy, 31, was responding with other troopers to a crash on Interstate 80 near mile marker 424, between Ashland and Greenwood. During that response, Trooper McAcy was outside his patrol unit and was struck by a snowplow. The Circumstance: "Our NSP family is devastated today,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Kyle was a dedicated trooper, a devoted public servant, and most importantly a good friend to many in Omaha and beyond. His loss is being felt by countless people. Please keep his family, friends, colleagues, and community in your hearts as they deal with this unimaginable loss.” "He was always so excited to talk about what he was doing as a trooper, you know, like, you can just tell when people love what they do," said McAcy's former homeroom teacher at Millard West, Tim Royers. Trooper McAcy, 31, was a ten-year veteran of the Nebraska State Patrol. He was a graduate of Camp 56 and wore badge #302. Trooper McAcy has served in the Patrol Division, Carrier Enforcement, and as a Crisis Negotiator. He was stationed in Omaha. Mission Accomplished: "Yesterday, I was able to attend the funeral of Nebraska Trooper McAcy, badge #302. Afterward, I was blessed to present a card and charitable gift of money to the Trooper McAcy's fiancée. Because of the generous donations from people across the country, this was possible. If you don't think that a small generous donation doesn't matter, the thank you and hug from Trooper McAcy's fiancée was validation that it does."

The Fallen Officer: Officer Jeremy LaBonte, 24, was shot and killed while responding to a suspicious person reported at a shopping center at 1425 Market Blvd in Roswell around 7:15 p.m. The Circumstance: Officer LaBonte found the suspect, identified as 23-year-old Edward Espinoza, in the parking lot near the ACE Pickleball Club. According to police, Espinoza shot Labonte multiple times. He encountered Officer Labonte responding to the scene and spoke to the officer for a few seconds, then drew a handgun and shot him twice. "At that point the defendant walks carefully around, leaning over and fires more than a dozen shots into the fallen officer," the prosecution said. "He leaves the gun there and then he runs away with his arms held high." They also alleged that when Espinoza was arrested on Feb. 7, he gave a lucid interview with police and acknowledged shooting Officer Labonte. They further said he had used a so-called " ghost gun," one without a serial number, in the shooting. "If he can find and purchase that kind of thing on the internet, he doesn't need to be released, he's got the mental capacity to handle the Fulton County Jail," the prosecution said. “We join them, his fellow Roswell PD, and all law enforcement in mourning this sudden and heartbreaking loss, and we ask all Georgians to join us in keeping them in your thoughts and prayers,” Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement. “We also ask that we remain mindful of the heavy sacrifices law enforcement and their families make to keep all of us safe each and every day. May this courageous man’s memory inspire all of us in the days, weeks, and years ahead.” Officer Labonte had served with the Roswell Police Department for over three years. He is survived by his wife, son, parents, two sisters, nephew, and grandparents. Labonte’s wife told Atlanta News First that he was killed four days before going on vacation. She also said the pair met in middle school. Mission Accomplished: Upon hearing about the tragic line of duty death of Officer LaBonte, Give Blue Hope reached out to the Roswell Police Department. Give Blue hope was privileged in providing the family a charitable gift of money. Rest in peace, Officer LaBonte, your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
