Slain OPD officer Kerrie Orozco was much beloved by both colleagues and community activists

Kerrie Orozco was esteemed not only by her fellow cops, but also by North Omaha community activists trying to put an end to violence and stem the influence of gangs. She was tirelessly involved in police youth charities, coached softball, worked with girl scouts, and even took in rescued dogs. It seems the better friends and acquaintances knew her, the harder they are taking her murder by a gang member. She was the real deal. Photo courtesy of Omaha Police Department.
