Overpass in Lemoore dedicated to fallen police officer Jonathan Diaz

LEMOORE, Calif. (KFSN) -- The 19th Avenue overpass along Highway 198 in Lemoore is now officially known as the Officer Jonathan Diaz Memorial Overcrossing.

Officer Diaz died in November of 2019. He was trying to break up a fight at a party when he was shot.

"There are many things I miss about Jonathan but one of them is his sense of humor," says his brother, Juan. "He knew how to make someone laugh even through the roughest times. He really was a peacemaker."

Officer Diaz was 31 years old and the father of three kids.

His dedication ceremony was held at the Lemoore Civic Auditorium. Many of his colleagues from the Lemoore Police Department were on hand.
