People came out in large numbers on Sunday in two Rochester suburbs to pay their respects to a fallen Rochester Police officer who was recently killed in an ambush.

The Fairport and Perinton communities lined streets to see a procession honoring Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz who spent 29 years with the Rochester Police Department.

He is being remembered for his exemplary service and an officer that always went above and beyond the call of duty.

Mazurkiewicz’s funeral will be held at noon Monday at Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester.

A suspect has been identified in the police officer’s death and was indicted last week.
