The Miami-Dade Police Department was preparing to begin the ceremonial paying of respect to slain Detective Cesar “Echy” Echaverry on Friday morning in Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood.
Echaverry, who was engaged to be married, died on Wednesday at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center after a five-year career with MDPD. He was 29.
Echaverry was on duty with the department’s robbery intervention detail when a suspect shot him in the head on Monday night in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood.
“As in all line of duty deaths, there are several protocols that must be met,” Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said in a statement adding, “There are many moving parts to the rendering of honors.”
The department is planning a procession to move Echaverry’s body to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s Department at 1851 NW 10 Ave., across the street from the hospital.
The public ceremony is from 10 to 11 a.m., but Zabaleta suggested an 8:30 a.m. arrival. It will be visible on the median across from the hospital’s Clark Diagnostic Treatment Center, at 1080 NW 19 St., and from the third floor of the parking garage on Northwest 10 Avenue, according to Zabaleta.
