Park in Nyssa to be renamed after fallen officer

The City of Nyssa in Oregon is renaming North Park to “Corporal Joe Johnson Memorial Park.”

The change was approved unanimously during a special meeting last week.

Joseph Johnson was the Nyssa Reserve Police Officer shot and killed on Saturday, April 15, just a few blocks from North Park, while responding to a call.

KIVI-TV reports, the ceremony will be held Tuesday, June 13, at 7 p.m. at North Park featuring the Oregon State Police Honor Guard.
