HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — The Henrico County Police Department is mourning the loss of one of its own.

He aspired to work alongside students and staff in Henrico County Public Schools and became a resource officer in 2016.
"Throughout his career, in both Patrol and as a School Resource Officer at Freeman High School, many people in the community got to know, love, and learn from him through his commitment and compassion," the police department said in a Facebook post. "Please keep Officer Evan O’Dell’s family in your thoughts during this difficult time."
Funeral arrangements have not been announced publicly at this time.
