I remember being on the floor at the Communications Bureau when this incident began. To watch the dispatchers at work with something like this is truly seeing training and professionalism in motion. It seemed that the ENTIRE force of the MDPD was out looking for the subject and the dispatch floor kept track of it all. After going home that night I learned from televised news that the subject was found near the pool of an apartment complex in Miramar and was shot and killed in confrontation.
To this day there is a small memorial outside of the roll call room at the Cutler Ridge Station where Jose was stationed.
Rest In Peace Jose. God Bless you and your surviving family and loved ones.

Gone but never forgotten. Many football games we worked together out in the parking lots 11/12. You always had your lunch that your wife had sent with you. We chatted about life and mostly about family. I had my son 3 weeks before you were murdered. In disbelief, I cried. I attended your funeral and you and your family will always be in my heart, as well as the others that were injured. Til we meet again to continue our talks about family, somo, R.I.P.

I Am Not Gone
(An Inspirational Memorial Poem by Injete Chesoni)
I am not gone
I remain here beside you
Just in a different form
Look for me in your heart
And there you will find me
in our love which forever lives on

In those moments when you feel alone
Look for me in your thoughts
And there you will find me
in sweet memories that burn strong

Every time a tear
Forms in your beautiful eyes
Look up to the heavens
And there you will see me
Smiling down from God’s glorious skies

8 years and I still feel the emptiness. I miss you. I love you. Can't wait for the day I hug you again. Words are just empty shells. Unable to describe my need to be with you. You're more than an older brother to me. You're the figure that I imagine when shits happens. I see you in crowds, but I know its not you. I know its you who I'm thinking about. Forever in my mind and heart. GOD's love will reunite us and till then I try to follow in your steps.

Love you always your younger brother

As September 13, 2012 approaches my memories of my brother still lingers in mind. I remember all the car shows he took me, all the movies we saw, and even the time he took me to Taco Bell after seeing "Bat Man". I will never forget such simple, yet monumental moments in my life. I have learned to deal with his loss even during times I know I do need him the most. Seating back in my chair, reclining, I remember the last time I saw him, a month before his passing. I was visiting the family and was packing my car to head back to my home (Alabama) he stood there watching me and told drive safely. He hugged me. The silly thing about the moment is I remembered the pair of shorts he was wearing and after his funeral I bought a pair and still to date I have them. Of course, 4 sizes to small now, but I still have them. I wish I would have spent more time with him, but as I reminisce the time I spent was quality time. I thank GOD for that. I will never forget him and I do plan the day that the GOOD LORD calls me and I stand in front of my brother, with mist in my eyes, I will hug him and never let go. Maybe then I will treat him to Taco Bell.
