From Blue Line Across America
We are mourning with the New York City Police Department after the loss of a Brother. Officer Randolph Holder, 33, was shot and killed while pursuing a robbery suspect who had fled several blocks on bicycle. Officer Holder and his partner were fired upon by the suspect when he received what would prove to be a fatal head injury. He was immediately transported to a hospital where he regretfully succumbed.
Officer Holder served with the NYPD's Police Service Area 5 for the past 5 years. He is survived by his family.
We create these humble memorials as a small token of our appreciation for the dedication to service our Brothers and Sisters have while protecting the citizens of the communities they serve. We also light blue lights to honor the memory of these fallen Officers as a symbol of hope and gratitude. We will shine our blue lights across America tonight for Officer Holder. May he follow the blue glow home. Rest easy Sir.
