Cpl. Heacook’s family calls on Delmar mayor & town manager to step down, mayor asks for patience

Corporal Keith Heacook’s family demanded the town’s two mayors and town manager to step down during Monday’s council meeting.

Before that, Mayor Michael Houlihan called for a moment of silence in honor of Cpl. Heacook. “We lost our innocence in Delmar. We can’t take that back. We have a great town, a great community, and people. I know everybody is hurt and grieving with this,” said Mayor Houlihan.

When the time came for public comments, the feeling of the meeting shifted. Residents called in, asking why Cpl. Heacook answered that fatal call alone, and what can be done to raise more money for the police department.

Mayor Houlihan explained that for now, his top priority is continuing to support Cpl. Heacook’s family. The mayor says there will be an opportunity to sit down and discuss what happened that night, and how the town can move forward, down the road.

Fundraising efforts for Cpl. Heacook’s family are ongoing. If you’d like to donate, you can find more information here.
