Thousands of people attended a memorial on Tuesday morning in West Palm Beach, Florida, for three Palm Beach Sheriff's Office deputies who were killed in a crash nearly two weeks ago. 

Deputy Sheriff Ignacio "Dan" Diaz, Deputy Sheriff Ralph "Butch" Waller, and Corporal Luis Paez were struck by a Jeep SUV on Nov. 21 while stopped with their motorcycles on the shoulder of Southern Boulevard, just west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road near Wellington.

Waller and Paez were pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after the crash, while Diaz was in critical condition and underwent surgery at the hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.

President-elect Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis were in attendance, according to Trump's deputy director of communications Margo Martin, who posted images on X of DeSantis, Trump and Eric Trump at the memorial.
