Death of Officer Jacob Derbin: Euclid policeman remembered at vigil honoring fallen first responders

To start National Police Week, members of the Cleveland community held a candlelight vigil in remembrance of the fallen, just days after the shooting death of Euclid Police Officer Jacob Derbin.
Julia Sherry Ruane knows this feeling well. Her brother, Cleveland Officer Desmond Sherry, was killed in the line of duty 44 years ago.
"Every time I hear of a police officer killed in the line of duty, it's fresh as if my brother died yesterday," Ruane told 3News.
Derbin's cousins also attended Monday's memorial.
"It's proud that he offered his life for us," Jeaninne Hozian said of her late relative. "He's a hero. It's hard, but I'm so proud of him. He's a hero."
