The horrific tragedy that taken place in our community has left us devastated and desperately demanding for justice. My own son Sergeant Joseph Azcona an upstanding member of the community and a dedicated law enforcement officer, was brutally killed by a 14 year old. Despite the severity of the matter, the state is unwilling to sentence the 14 year old as an adult. This has left our family in a perplexed and painful position. We firmly believe that the gravity of the crime committed should be the determining factor of the proceeding, not the age of the offender.
