A police officer in North Las Vegas, who was shot dead, is remembered at a public memorial service on Thursday.

Jason Roskov, a father of two and 17-year-old veteran at the North Las Vegas Police Department, was killed in a shootout on February 4 with a 25-year-old man identified by Clark Cabinet as Alexander Matis.

The 46 -year -old Roskov was shot dead repeatedly by Matisse, who had fired five rounds of Makarov pistol, police said at a press conference on Wednesday. Although he was shot, Roskov managed to shoot 16 rounds, police said. Matis died from a firearm in the head, the Corron cabinet reported.

The residual service is held at the Henderson Central Church.

The Central Church, Megacher, near the Interstate 11, also known as the American Highway 95, and Russell Road, has hosted numerous police officers and firefighters in recent years.

A funeral liturgy is planned for Roskov, which will be held on Monday at the Catholic Church of St. Joseph in Roskov’s hometown in Prariya Du Rocher, Illinois, with a funeral that follows.

“Jason Roskov was the patron and guardian of our community,” said North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Gines-Brown on February 6 at candles in honor of Roskov. “Every day he answered the call.”
