A restaurant run by the family of a Riverside County sheriff's deputy who was killed in the line of duty reopened to hundreds of supporters from around the community.
The small restaurant run by the family of a Riverside County sheriff's deputy who was killed in the line of duty reopened Wednesday morning to hundreds of supporters from around the community.
While the aromas from the meat on the smoker alongside the restaurant did plenty to attract crowds, the real reason many of the patrons showed up was to show support for the owners still grieving the loss of their son.Deputy Darnell Calhoun, 30, was shot on Jan. 13 while responding to a domestic violence incident in Lakeland Village near Lake Elsinore. He was rushed to the hospital but passed away later that evening.
With the reopening of the restaurant, the memorial is now gone. In its place, dozens and dozens of supporters lined up to buy lunch and show their support. "It just has really blessed us to feel loved and supported by so many people," said Renee Calhoun, the fallen deputy's mother. "I feel like we're part of the Inland Empire; not just Murrieta. Because they've come from all over."
