Only a week has passed since the massive fentanyl drug bust<\/a> that occurred in Montgomery County and yet another drug-related incident has struck the city of Dayton. Though the previous event managed to indirectly save the lives of many, this situation has resulted in great tragedy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dayton Police Detective Jorge Del Rio received two shots in the face on Nov. 4 <\/sup>while investigating a home located on Ruskin Rd. During that Monday night, Del Rio and other officers were in the pursuit of serving an arrest warrant. Upon arriving at the basement, the offender, Nathan Goddard Jr. made the first strike by firing his weapon at Del Rio twice. The detective was the only one who suffered injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Del Rio\u2019s fellow officers called for an ambulance but ultimately made the swift decision to use the police car to rush him to Grandview Hospital. Despite the immediate action that was taken, Del Rio relied on advanced life support for three days before succumbing to his injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 55 years old, Del Rio was not only a husband and father but also a grandfather. As of 2019, he was a 30-year veteran of the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Del Rio had his organs removed and donated to those in need. A public visitation<\/a> will be held Monday, Nov. 11 from 4-9 p.m. at the University of Dayton Arena. His funeral will also be at the UD Arena at noon the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
