DENVER—Former Montana Gov. Judy Martz will speak at the funeral of a Montana man who was shot to death after a confrontation with an off-duty sheriff’s deputy in Lakewood.
An attorney for the victim’s family says Martz will give a tribute to David Rossiter of Sheridan, Montana at his funeral Sunday in the Sheridan Grade School gym.
The 25-year-old Rossiter was a former junior high school coach. Lakewood police says he was shot and killed last Friday night by Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Montana Junior.
Martz spoke at an awards ceremony when Rossiter earned his Eagle Scout award.
Deputy Montana has been placed on administrative leave and the investigation is still under way.
