Ivan Roman-Matos - Law Enforcement - Puerto Rico

Agent Ivan Roman-Matos, age 34, died in the line of duty on November 7, 2012, in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. 

Ivan was a member of the Puerto Rico Police Department. He had 1 year and 4 months of service. 

Ivan and another officer responded to a call regarding a robbery at a pharmacy in Toa Baja at approximately 8:40 p.m. 

Gabriel, Archangel, pray for
Ivan
As the officers arrived at the scene, Agent Roman-Matos pursued one subject while his partner pursued a second subject. The first subject opened fire and, despite wearing a vest, Agent Roman-Matos was struck four times in the head and neck. He was transported to Doctors Center Hospital where he died a short time later.

Both subjects fled the scene and remain at large.

Ivan is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his 9 year old son. 

Pray for all who die in the line of duty.

Let us pray that Ivan Roman-Matos is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
