VIDEO: Valley firefighters hiked Camelback Mountain’s Echo Canyon trail in memory of Kyle Brayer, the Tempe Fire Medical Rescue Department captain who was shot dead while off-duty earlier this month. Scott Williams, one of the firefighters participating in the hike said that he felt that although the hike was difficult at times, it was necessary to honor Brayer's memory, "I wish we didn't have to, but I think it's better for us to remember Kyle. And even though sometimes it hurts,get up there, remember him and try to live the kind of life he would want you to." According to court documents, the 34-year-old Brayer was riding on the back of a transportation golf cart with several other people heading southbound on Civic Center Plaza around 2:30 a.m. when 21-year-old Hezron Parks began driving closely and bumping the rear end of the golf cart with his vehicle.
