The family of Ofc. Vazuez Lasso helped install a flower on the mosaic at Marquette Road and Central Park in his honor. Like him it will be a symbol of uplifting the community, and like his memory, this flower will not wither. Thank you to Commander Spreyne and 8th District Chicago Police Department for attending and supporting the Vazquez Lasso family and Chicago Artopia for making this mosaic mural possible for our community.
