Officer Seara Burton has passed away.
The Richmond police officer died Sunday night, more than one week after having been taken off life support about a week ago.
Philip Lee is charged with shooting her and will likely now face a charge of murder.
Lee’s family say that he had been using meth at the time of the shooting and did not want to go back to jail.
Governor Eric Holcomb issued a statement, saying “hearts are heavy for Burton’s family, colleagues, loved ones and the Richmond community she so nobly served.”
Burton dedicated four years to the Richmond Police Department.
