The San Angelo City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to re-name Rio Vista Park as "Jaime Padron Memorial Park". Austin police chief Art Acevedo was on hand for the meeting. It was April 6th of last year that Padron, a Senior Officer with the Austin police department, was shot and killed after responding to a Walmart store and struggling with an intoxicated shoplifter armed with a small handgun. Padron was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who had also served 14 years with the San Angelo Police Department. He is survived by his two young daughters.
