MIAMI - A Miami-Dade police officer who lost his life in the line of duty was honored Monday by the county.

Dozens of law enforcement officers and state leaders gathered outside Ferguson Senior High School in West Kendall to pay tribute to 
Officer Cesar "Echy" Echaverry.

The intersection of SW 56th Street and SW 162nd Avenue, near the school, is now known as Echaverry Way. 

The five-year police veteran was fatally shot in August last year while attempting to arrest an armed robbery suspect.
