Finally, it will continue to I-95 Southbound to the Palmetto Expressway and exit at 57th Avenue as it heads back to Vista Memorial Gardens for burial.
Chirino was shot and killed on Sunday, October 17 by a teenager with a lengthy arrest record who was resisting arrest after being caught trying to break into cars, according to police. Jason Banegas’ arrest warrant said he was trying to kill himself and not the officer, in order to avoid returning to jail.

Banegas is charged with first-degree murder and other charges and is being held without bond.
