A Detroit police officer heading home from work was killed in a hit-and-run crash on the city’s east side on Sunday, according to authorities.
FOX 2 in Detroit reported that Officer Cameron Richardson had been with the department for just over a year, and police described him as a family man with two daughters, as well as a veteran of the military.
“Today, the Detroit Police Department lost Officer Cameron Richardson, who served one year with the Department,” the department wrote in a post on X. “Officer Richardson was killed in a car accident while off-duty.”
Interim Chief Todd Bettison told reporters the city had lost “one of Detroit’s finest.”
