Alamo, Georgia, police officer Dylan Harrison just had his funeral. Harrison was ambushed outside the Alamo Police Department on Oct. 8. Although WGXA streamed the funeral service on Facebook, Harrison did not get a public funeral. Harrison will not be buried in a gold coffin.

Harrison, 26, is survived by his wife and their 6-month-old son, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. He was ambushed in retaliation for an arrest he had conducted earlier in the day. Harrison was murdered on his first shift on the job with the Alamo Police Department. Harrison’s death hasn’t received widespread media coverage. It hasn’t resulted in political statements besides Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s sympathy.
