A memorial service is underway for fallen Cleveland police officer Jamieson Ritter after the 27-year-old was shot and killed in the line of duty while responding to a call last week on July 4.

Cleveland police say officer Ritter’s funeral will be held out of state. While no specific details about that service have been provided, his obituary says officer Ritter's private entombment will take place at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Rochester, New York.

“The family’s wish was to have the funeral back home," explained Sgt. Wilfredo Diaz with the Cleveland Division of Police. "So we obviously are here for the family to provide that support.
