Former Newtown Police Officer Stephen Ketchum will be honored during a virtual candlelight vigil that will be broadcast on Wednesday May 13, at 8 pm EST, according to his sister, Corey LaRocque.

“The candlelight vigil is normally done in Washington DC during National Police Week,” said LaRocque, “but was canceled this year due to COVID-19. The virtual event will be held instead.”

There will also be a Virtual Memory Board in video format released on May 14.
