Outpouring of support at vigil for fallen CPD officer
Throughout the time since, there has been an outpouring of support – including a vigil at a Clearing neighborhood park that CBS 2's Jermont Terry visited.
Officer Vasquez-Lasso's widow clung to a candle as friends held her up. She fought tears while dealing with the huge void of losing her husband – who was killed while serving and protecting. Officer Vasquez-Lasso was a five-year veteran of the department. CBS 2's Terry asked Cmdr. Spreyne what it was like to put on the uniform Thursday with everything that had transpired the day before.
"He was a very humble; very good, competitive guy. Every time we played, you know, always got the best out of him," Huff said."Just that competitive spirit made him one terrific person."
