Monroe, MI – Michigan State Senator Dale Zorn expressed sorrow and offered condolences to the family of Toledo Police Officer Anthony Dia, originally from Monroe County and a Bedford High School graduate, who died in the line of duty on Saturday.
Senator Zorn said: “The senseless killing of Officer Dia is another sobering reminder of the great risk our law enforcement officers take each day to protect and serve our communities.”
Dia, who was 26 years old, responded to a call concerning a drunken man at a Home Depot parking lot whereupon he was shot and killed. He leaves behind a wife of eight years and two sons who are eight and six.
Police said the suspect, a 57-year-old man, was later found dead of a self-inflicted wound.
