The two officers were killed in line of duty while sitting in their patrol car on December, 20.

The killing is assumed an act of revenge inspired by grand jury decisions not to indict the two white police officers who killed unarmed Afro-Americans — Eric Garner and Michael Brown — in the summer of 2014.
