Echaverry, who had been an officer for five years, was part of the Miami-Dade Police Department’s robbery intervention detail.

At his funeral it was shared in a speech made by Miami-Dade police Lt. Ernesto S. Rodriguez, that Detective Echaverry was off the night he was killed, “But being who he was, he volunteered to participate in an initiative implemented to target violent criminals and reduce crime in Miami-Dade,” said Lt. Rodriguez.
