Two years ago today, our community experienced a tragedy that forever changed countless lives.

On June 1, 2024, Officer Joshua R. Briese was killed in the line of duty while serving the Gila River Indian Community. During the same tragic incident, Alicen Apkaw also lost her life. Today, we pause to remember them both, honor their memories, and reflect on the profound impact their loss continues to have on their families, friends, and our community.

Two years later, the pain remains, but so does our commitment to remember. We remember Josh's dedication, his sacrifice, and the impact he made in such a short time. We remember Alicen and the life that was taken too soon.

Please join us in keeping the Briese family, the Apkaw family, and all those affected by this tragedy in your thoughts today.

Gone, but never forgotten.
