A hearse carrying the body of Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller was escorted by a group of motorcycle police and followed by a procession of patrol units along Soquel Avenue today.
Gutzwiller was shot and killed Saturday in Ben Lomond, and two other officers were injured.
The procession started at 2pm at the Sheriff’s Live Oak office and threaded over streets to the Benito and Azzaro Pacific Gardens Chapel in Santa Cruz.
