LOVELAND, CO : Funeral held Monday for transit guard killed in Denver on Monday, February 6th 2017

Friends, family and fellow law enforcement officers turned out to honor the transit guard shot and killed in Denver last week at his funeral on Monday in Loveland.

Fifty-six-year-old Scott Von Lanken was working for a security contractor for the Denver area’s Regional Transportation District Tuesday night when police say a 37-year-old Texan who had been living lately in a suburban Denver motel walked up from behind him, put a gun to his neck and said something to the effect of “do what you are told” before firing.

Joshua Cummings has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting but police haven’t released a possible motive.

Von Lanken previously worked as a police officer in La Crosse, Wisconsin and as a pastor. He is survived by a wife and two daughters.
