Del Rio was shot twice while serving a warrant as part of a DEA task force in Dayton last Monday.

“While no gesture can ever repay him or his loved ones for their sacrifice, today we honor this hero’s memory and lift up the entire Dayton community,” Brown said.
Thousands gathered earlier this week for a public visitation and private funeral services at the University of Dayton Arena.
