Officer Jason West, 31, was killed in the line of duty on May 25, 2007, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. He had served with the Cleveland Heights Police Department for seven years. West responded to a disturbance on Altamont Road and, as he stepped out of his vehicle, was shot three times by 27-year-old Timothy Halton Jr., who had reportedly expressed a desire to kill a police officer. West died later that day from his wounds.

Halton was apprehended and charged with aggravated murder. Nearly 2,000 people attended Officer West’s funeral. West graduated from Tiffin University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and was remembered by colleagues and residents for his dedication to law enforcement.
