this truly breaks my heart. a young life cut so short over such senselessness. we'll never know the potential that went unfulfilled in such a promising life, but we can at least honor him as a hero who chose the brave path of protecting the citizens of the city he called home. he truly made a mark in such a brief time with us. please continue to watch over us Det. Santiago.
God bless your family and the jersey city police department.
rest peacefully.
