Several funds have been established for the benefit of the family of the Cold Spring-Richmond police officer shot to death Nov. 29 in an apparent ambush.
Thomas Decker, 31, died after being shot twice while making a call to check on a report of a man who might be suicidal. The incident happened in a parking lot-alleyway behind a building in downtown Cold Spring. The man the officer came to check on lived in an apartment above Winner’s Bar in that building. That man was arrested but was later released for lack of evidence. An intensive investigation continues.
Decker is the father of four children from a previous marriage. He and Becky Decker’s children are Kelly, 8; Jade, 7; Justin, 6; and Devon, 5. Decker and wife Alicia were married scarcely a year before his murder.
