Davis police are on the search for an arsonist who set fire to a Fifth Street memorial honoring slain Officer Natalie Corona, the incident occurring during National Police Week and two days before National Peace Officers Memorial Day.
A passerby reported the blaze at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Fifth and C streets memorial, marking the spot where the 22-year-old Corona was fatally shot at random while investigating a vehicle collision on Jan. 10, 2019.
Lt. Art Camacho said the unidentified suspect “used a flammable liquid to set alight portions of the memorial, for unknown reasons.”
