Officer Down Memorial Page ^ | 29 December A.D. 2021 | ODMP Staff

Deputy Sheriff Sean Riley was shot and killed after responding to assist a motorist near mile marker 115 on I-64 at about 5:00 am.

Another officer responding to back him up found him suffering from fatal gunshot wounds and his patrol car was missing. The subject later abandoned the patrol car on I-64 before fleeing to St. Peters, Missouri, where he carjacked and shot a citizen. The man then abandoned the vehicle before stealing another vehicle and returning to Illinois. He was taken into custody in the early afternoon.

“Let’s hear from the cop haters here. Motorist meeds assistance at 5 AM, shot dead.”

And cops face this scenario every day. Every call they go on potentially. Not a job I could do.

No, I don’t care about people enough. One of my best friends has a son who was going to be a PO until he got injured in an ANG training accident. I have to check myself every time he mnetions it, because my natural reaction is “why?” He could make tons of money taking over huis father’s business. I hope he does.

In custody...alive? That would be a shame. You can’t go much lower than ambushing a Samaritan.
