EVERETT, Wash. — Online tributes continue to pour in a year after the death of Everett police officer Dan Rocha.

The 41-year-old had been with the Department since 2017 and a police officer since 2018.

His family says he “wanted to give back to his community,” so he became an officer.

But on March 25, 2022, his duties were tragically cut short.

Body camera footage shows Officer Rocha confronting Richard rotter outside a north Everett Starbucks. Rotter had an outstanding warrant and was allegedly moving guns between cars.
