CHULA VISTA, Calif. – A bridge-dedication ceremony happened Thursday honoring police Officer Jonathan De Guzman, who was shot and killed in Southcrest July 2016 while assigned to the San Diego Police Department’s Gang Suppression Unit.

The Palomar Street Bridge over Interstate 805 was named by the state as the Officer Jonathan M. De Guzman Memorial Bridge to memorialize the fallen officer in his hometown of Chula Vista.
