Co-authored Garcia Wilburn resolution to rename portion of U.S. Highway 52 after Officer Breann Leath passes out of the House

House Concurrent Resolution 4, which renames U.S. Highway 52 between Davis Road and German Church Road the “Officer Breann Leath Memorial Mile,” passed out of the Indiana House of Representatives today. Leath, an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer, was shot and killed in the line of duty on Thurs., April 9, 2020, while responding to a domestic disturbance call. 

Rep. Victoria Garcia Wilburn (D-Fishers), who co-authored the concurrent resolution, celebrated its passage:

“Officer Breann Leath bravely served the people of Indianapolis in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and as a member of the Indiana National Guard and with the Indiana Department of Correction. My husband Chris served with her and always spoke highly of her character and strength. 

“Officer Leath made the ultimate sacrifice. We as citizens owe her family a debt of gratitude. I hope that naming part of U.S. Highway 52 in her honor will help her family and children and our community remember her sacrifice for years to come.” 

Now, the Indiana Senate will take up the concurrent resolution for consideration.
