The two youngest children of fallen Broward Sheriff's Deputy Sgt. Chris Reyka each received $15,000 college scholarship bonds from the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation on Monday.
Reyka, who served in the Marine Corps between 1976 and 1978, was shot and killed Aug. 10 after attempting to check on two suspicious vehicles behind a Walgreens drug store in Pompano Beach.
Authorities are offering $267,000 for information leading to the arrest of Reyka's shooter. No arrests have been made.
"Your husband served the Marine Corps and this department with honor," Agostino von Hassell, a foundation representative, told Reyka's wife Kim during a presentation at the Sheriff's Office.
Autumn Reyka, 16, and Spencer Reyka, 13, also received a basic training polo shirt and a handmade Marine Corps rose pin.
"It's so overwhelming. Just the cost of education is so much, and for them to help meet that need, it leaves me speechless," said Kim Reyka.
