In Loving Memory of Police Officer Senior Pradeep Tamang

With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we honor the life, service, and sacrifice of Police Officer Senior Pradeep Tamang, a dedicated law enforcement officer of the Gwinnett County Police Department who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. His passing has left a deep and lasting impact on his family, fellow officers, and the community he so faithfully served.

On Sunday morning, February 1, Officer Tamang and Master Police Officer David M. Reed responded to what was initially reported as a fraud call. While on scene, they encountered a subject who opened fire, striking both officers. Despite their bravery and professionalism, Officer Tamang sustained fatal injuries and later died as a result of the shooting. Officer Reed remains in critical but stable condition, and the suspect was also injured during the exchange of gunfire. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken over the investigation, and further details will be released in due time.

His courage, integrity, and commitment to duty exemplified the very best of law enforcement. He answered the call to serve with honor, knowing the risks, and he did so with selflessness and unwavering dedication.

To his colleagues, Officer Tamang was a trusted teammate, a source of strength, and a brother in uniform. He served alongside others with professionalism, compassion, and respect for the community. His loss is deeply felt within the Gwinnett County Police Department, where his presence, experience, and friendship will be sorely missed.

To his family and loved ones, Officer Tamang was a son, relative, friend, and cherished individual whose life extended far beyond the uniform. He was someone who cared deeply for those around him, whose presence brought comfort and reassurance, and whose love will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him best. The pain of losing him is unimaginable, and the entire community stands in solidarity with his family during this time of grief.

His dedication to protecting others, even in the face of danger, represents the highest ideals of public service. He gave his life in service to his community, and his bravery will never be forgotten.
