A bill introduced by a local Congresswoman would move to honor fallen San Diego Police Officer Jonathan "J.D." De Guzman.
De Guzman, 43, was killed in the line of duty on July 28 when he was shot multiple times point-blank during a traffic stop by a man now charged in his death.
De Guzman's partner Officer Wade Irwin was injured in the attack.
The bill, authored by Congresswoman Susan Davis and co-sponsored by the entire San Diego congressional delegation, would designate the postal facility on Kuhn Drive in Chula Vista as the "Jonathan 'J.D.' De Guzman Post Office Building." The post office is near where De Guzman lived.
"Officer De Guzman is no longer with us but we can ensure that his name lives on," said Davis in a statement. "He made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our community.
Davis recently met with the fallen officer's family to offer her condolences. Her district includes central San Diego, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley and parts of El Cajon and Chula Vista.
"This bill will mean that future generations will know and understand the commitment Officer De Guzman and all our law enforcement officers make on behalf of San Diegans," Davis said in a statement.
