LAKEWOOD, Colo.—Funeral services for a Lakewood policeman who was mistakenly shot and killed by a fellow officer have been set for Thursday.
Officer James Davies was in a backyard investigating reports of gunfire and was in full uniform when another officer behind a fence shot him on Friday.
Police say 37-year-old Joe Anthony Ruiz is accused of firing gun shots that led to the police shooting. He appeared in court Sunday to be advised of his rights.
Officers were investigating reports of a prowler in the neighborhood when they heard the gunfire. Police then set up a perimeter around Ruiz’s house as they prepared to search the place.
