Family members related to Officer Vega shared their thanks for the community support during this difficult time. “We are holding up as strong as we can, but it really hurts a lot,” said Juadalupe Rodriguez, who is Vega’s cousin. The vigil ended with the release of two balloons into the heavens. JOE GALLI CAN BE FOUND ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER!
