HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – A community gathered on Sunday to mark one year since a Hollywood police officer died in the line of duty.
It was last October when 28-year-old Yandy Chirino was shot and killed while trying to arrest a suspected car burglar in an Emerald Hills neighborhood.
The Hollywood Police Department hosted a remembrance ceremony at Mara Berman Giulianti Park on North Hills Drive.
Hollywood police called the event a community celebration of life.
A playground at the park was also renamed in Chirino’s honor.
