KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A procession, led by hundreds of law enforcement officials from across Michigan, was held Sunday morning to honor fallen Kalamazoo County Sgt. Ryan Proxmire. It began at Kalamazoo Valley Community College and then moved down Stadium Dr. from 9th St. to the campus of Western Michigan University where a memorial service takes place at Miller Auditorium.
Proxmire received a posthumous promotion from the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s office to Sargeant following his death on Sunday, August 15. He was critically injured after being shot by a suspect Saturday, August 14 during a police chase near Galesburg. That chase ended at 44th Street and “Q” Avenue in Climax Township when the suspect fired more gunshots at deputies, who returned fire and killed him.
