NICK DAVIS MEMORIAL VIGIL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2009, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
This Friday December 18th will be the 25th anniversary of the murder of Seattle Police Officer Nick Davis.
A memorial was built on the site of his killing at 1122 E Madison Street, just two blocks south of the SPD East Precinct.
A small group of citizens plans to demonstrate that we have not and will not forget Officer Davis, and are planning low key vigil. If possible, grab a candle and stop by the memorial between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Friday, December 18, and greet your fellow survivors, Law Enforcement officers and members of the community.
On December 18, 1984, Officer Davis was shot and killed with his own service weapon after confronting a suspect who had just left the IHOP restaurant without paying the $4.55 bill. ________________________________________________________________________
