ATLANTA — A community is showing up for a reserve police officer who was shot in the neck about three weeks ago.
Dan Wilcox was shot in the neck on on Luckie Street while serving a parking ticket on Oct. 25.
According to GBI, Wilcox was working with ATL Plus, a parking enforcement company. Authorities said the officer was sitting in his patrol car when a man approached him and fired at the officer. The off-duty officer fired back -- fatally shooting the Lithonia man. The man, 25-year-old Jamon Darryl McCall died at the scene, the GBI said.
According to this fundraiser, started by Wilcox's sister, he is currently out of the hospital, but will still have to go through "extensive medical, physical and psychological treatment".
In it, she writes that Wilcox has been in law enforcement for over 30 years, at one point working as a city policeman and a state agent. He's also been a youth mentor and is active in his church.
