Officer Reyka's death took place at the Walgreens on Powerline. Finally, after a few weeks of searching for the memorial at the Walgreens, i came across it this weekend.
It is truly a site. People have left their shirts, caps, letters, pictures, flowers, prayers, and many American flags. What amazes me is that there still have been no arrests.
The reward is set at $267,000, it's been two months, and still no response.
Broward Sheriff's Office, Sergeant Chris Reyka was shot and killed at the Walgreens located on Powerline Road, just south of Atlantic Boulevard, while looking for stolen vehicles, on August 10, while on duty, early that morning. Since then, there has been few other incidents where police officers have been injured, wounded and killed.
In Sergeant Reyka's memory, there will be a street named Sgt. Chris Reyka Place will run in front of the city's safety building where he worked. The street runs along Dixie Highway to Cypress Road.

Just received a letter from Walgreens that they are going to build a permanent memorial at the site. A small bright spot, but a bright spot nonetheless...
