Wake County Sheriff's K9 deputy Santos honored during memorial ride in Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Community members in Raleigh honored fallen Wake County Sheriff's Deputy K9 Santos Sunday during a memorial ride.

K9 Santos was accidentally shot and killed by a Knightdale police officer during a search for a suspect last month.

The memorial ride began at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School and traveled down Rock Quarry Road and US 70 West before ending at a shopping center parking lot.

A memorial service for K9 Santos was supposed to be held on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kerr Scott building at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. That will now be held at a later date.
