This week’s photo comes from Nathaniel Grimm of the Lincoln Police Department in Lincoln, Nebraska.

This photo shows a night of remembrance before Investigator Mario Herrera’s funeral. Herrera died in the line of duty September 7 two weeks after he was shot and wounded while serving a warrant. In the photo, a Lincoln Police cruiser memorial sits outside the Lincoln/Lancaster County Hall of Justice with the Nebraska state capitol lit blue in Herrera’s honor.

The agency said in a statement that Herrera was “an exemplary human being who just happened to be a Lincoln police officer.”
