Wayne David, a 25-year veteran of the D.C. police force, tragically lost his life when a gun he was retrieving misfired. His high school friend, Anthony Grant, paid his respects at a memorial set up outside the Metropolitan Police Department’s Special Operations Division. Grant described David as a wonderful person who always made time for his friends, despite his busy work schedule. The two reconnected 12 years ago when their kids took taekwondo together, and Grant considered David to be a staple in his life. Grant reflected on their friendship, stating that David was always smiling and laughing, and was dedicated to his job as a police investigator. He choked back tears as he spoke about his friend, expressing his sadness and saying that David is now in a better place. Grant believed that God called an angel home in David, who is now watching over everyone. The memorial for David has seen an outpouring of support, with people leaving flowers and pictures to pay their respects to the fallen officer. Grant’s emotional tribute to his friend reflects the impact that David had on those around him and how deeply his loss is felt by his loved ones.
