A Kansas City, Kansas, police captain who was gunned down while looking for a suspect in a drive-by shooting was a member of the department’s honor guard at the funeral for a fellow officer who was fatally shot near Kansas City two months ago.

Police say Capt. Robert Melton was shot in his car Tuesday after driving up to someone who matched the description of a suspect in a drive-by shooting. The suspected shooter is in custody.

Melton’s LinkedIn profile says he served in the Kansas Army National Guard and was deployed to Afghanistan from September 2010 to March 2012.

He also was a member of the honor guard at the funeral for detective Brad Lancaster, who fatally was shot near Kansas Speedway on May 9.

Melton was honored Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, with a moment of silence before the Royals game against Cleveland.
