Officer Jonah Hernandez—a two-year member of the Las Cruces, New Mexico Police Department—was stabbed to death while responding to a trespassing report. The 35-year-old is survived by his wife and two young sons.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Las Cruces Police Department and the family and friends of Officer Jonah Hernandez,” said Josh Holland, international director of the BG-RRT.
“It’s always difficult to hear of the tragic loss of a law enforcement officer in the line of duty,” he said. “Chaplains through our National Law Enforcement Ministry are trained for situations like this to listen to, comfort, pray and share God’s love with those who have been affected.”
Crisis-trained chaplains ministered to the officers, their families, and the community.
Please pray for Officer Hernandez’s loved ones, and for the people of Las Cruces.
