A vehicle came and hit him. He was close to the pick up truck and he end up in the drain and he died on the spot. Shanon was a cool guy. He was a police officer and he was one that whenever anything happen you can always call him and he’s always there you know. Cool guy and me and him were good friends and I’m going to miss him because he was one of my good friends. We talked every now and then on the phone. He always comes to hail me at my house so condolence to the family.”

Love News also spoke with PC Middleton’s wife, Kadesha. She recalled her husband being a well-known and liked person in the community.

Kadesha, Wife of Deceased: “Shanon was a people person. He was always jovial, always happy, always smiling. I can’t say how I want someone to remember him because he always leaves an impression. He always is so nice, he’s always happy, he’s always smiling with everybody so I don’t think he has anybody that doesn’t like him. He’s so nice. Any time we go somewhere I would tell him go somewhere that I feel like nobody knows you because they take you away from me. If we go to Builders, we go to get food somewhere he always knows somebody. We’ve been together for five years going on six. We just had a baby four months ago, a little girl. She’s named like her dad Shanon Middleton. She looks just like him. He also has another son and he looks just like his dad as well. So he left a piece of him.”
