In February, Nicky suffered multiple cuts in his face and body after he was attacked by a suspect. He was out of duty recovering from his wounds for almost a month. On March 8th he returned to his job, so it’s even sadder that he survived such an attack just to get killed a month later.
The funeral was kept private but all the members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department were there to pay a tribute to Nicky. The K9s “bark of honor” consisted of the dogs barking loud while standing with their handlers in front of Nicky’s coffin. May he rest in peace.
Check out some of the pictures of the funeral.
