City leaders in Rockford are expecting a large turn out to say goodbye to a rookie officer killed in the line of duty. Visitation for Rockford Police Officer Jaimie Cox will be held today at the First Free Evangelical Church in Rockford.
Cox will be laid to rest on Saturday. Investigators say it may take weeks before they know how Cox died in what started as a traffic stop over the weekend, and ended with him being slammed by a car into a tree.
Police say that the driver of the pickup truck was shot and killed by Cox during the altercation.
