Emmanuel Lopes is the murderer and haven't been able to find any further info on him. Illegal alien?

This is such a tragedy! This man's aunt and I work at the same college. I spoke to her daughter this afternoon and she told me her cousin had wanted to be a police office since his early twenties. He could not get hired, even though he had a degree in Criminal Justice, because he was not a minority. To get experience, he enlisted in the US Army and went to both Afghanistan and Iraq. Once he finished his tour, he reapplied and finally had his dream job - a police officer in the area where he grew up. To be MURDERED in cold blood with his own gun is outrageous, especial if the perp turns out to have come to this country illegally!
