"He is being described as a gentle giant. He's got a big smile. He's an ex-football player. People are remembering him very fondly from the police departments," said Aboraya about Orange County Deputy First Class Norman Lewis.
Sergeant Debra Clayton of the Orlando Police was a 17 year veteran of the department.
"Not only was she a police officer in that area and she grew up there and loved that community. But, she was also working to end violence in the area," said Aboraya.
