MAHANOY CITY -- 20 years ago a man from Schuylkill County was murdered in California while trying to stop an armed robbery.

A memorial was held Tuesday morning for Louis Pompei.

Pompei was a native of Mahanoy City, but he became a police officer near Los Angeles.

When Pompei died 20 years ago, officers traveled from the other side of the country to say goodbye to their fellow officer.

Newswatch 16's Fred Lettieri has this video vault from the funeral in 1995.
