Honoring Officer Jeremy Labonte On February 7th, 2025, Roswell Police Officer Jeremy Labonte was tragically shot and killed in the line of duty while responding to a suspicious person report. Officer Labonte made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the citizens of Roswell, Georgia. We run to remember his bravery, his service, and his unwavering dedication to keeping our community safe.
