Justin, it was an honor to serve with you. You were an outstanding officer and had a very promising career that was cut short. A life that was cut short. A young widow and a child who will only know you through the memories of others. I will miss you. I’m glad to have called you my friend and neighbor.

I did not know Justin personally, but my wife is very close with his wife. I do know, however, that Justin was an incredible man, a loving husband, and an incredible father to his son Taylor. My thoughts and prays go out to his wife and family. Rest in Peace brother!

The Mobile Police Department mourns the loss of Police Officer Justin Billa who was shot and killed during a domestic dispute that turned very tragic. He leaves behind his wife and 1 year old son. This is very tragic that he will not be there to watch his son grow up and possibly follow in the footsteps of his father who was taken from him by an abusive husband who killed his wife. My thoughts and my prayers are with the family of Mobile, AL Police Officer Justin Billa, the Mobile, AL Police Department, the City of Mobile, AL and the entire state of Alabama right now in this time of grieving.

Romans 13:4 “For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.”
Matthew 25:21 "His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
Rest easy brother.

A Prayer for Police Officer Justin Billa:
Lord God, I boldly and humbly come before Your throne in sincere faithful and fervent prayer as we remember in this moment our Brother-in-Blue, Police Officer Justin Billa, of the Mobile, Alabama Police Department, who sacrificed his life in the Line-of-Duty. We recall with gratitude and respect all that he stood for in this life. Help us to live in the companionship of his spirit. May we be kind to the family, friends, and colleagues he loved; devoted to the community and state in which he served; and loyal to the causes which he championed in law enforcement. For Scripture says: God blesses those who work for peace for they will be called the children of God ; there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends; I [Jesus] assure you, today you will be with me in Paradise, and; God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Thus, in our life, may Police Officer Justin Billa live on, to our great comfort, to the betterment of Your creation, and to the furthering of Your most Holy Will. Amen.
