Today we remember LVMPD Police Officer Alyn R. Beck, who was killed alongside his partner Police Officer Igor Soldo on this day in 2014.
Officer Beck joined the Department on August 21, 2001, and served in the Patrol Division as well as in several training assignments. He became a field training officer in 2006 and continued his passion for training by becoming an Academy training instructor in 2007. He was known by those he trained as a tough and tenacious instructor in defensive tactics, MACTAC and strength training. In 2014, he returned to the Patrol Division, serving in the Northeast Area Command while advancing through the promotional process to become a sergeant.
On June 8, 2014, Officers Beck and Soldo were eating lunch at a pizza restaurant in the 300 block of North Nellis Boulevard when two subjects, a male and a female, approached their table and shot them execution-style without warning. The subjects then stole both officers’ weapons and ammunition and fled to a nearby Walmart, where they shot and killed a civilian.
Responding officers followed the two into the Walmart and exchanged gunfire with them. The male subject was killed by rifle fire from a responding officer, and the female then committed su***de.
Officer Beck was 41 years old and left behind his wife, Nicole, and three children.
We will never forget.
