City of Tampa lights up in blue to remember fallen Officer Jesse Madsen
Haley Hinds reports
TAMPA, Fla. - The Tampa Police Department is mourning the loss of one of their own. 45-year-old Officer Jesse Madsen was killed early Tuesday while attempting to stop a wrong-way driver on I-275.
As night fell, bridges, buildings, and the Tampa Riverwalk were illuminated in blue. The color change is honoring a protector of the city, lost. We were really sad about what happened, said Andy Acevedo, who noticed the blue color by the Riverwalk.
Officer remembered for heroism, dedication to family
Lloyd Sowers reports
TAMPA, Fla. The headlines seemed to have it all wrong. Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Diego Chargers star Vincent Jackson, 38, found dead in a hotel room.
It couldn t possibly be. How could it?
Not the man who seemed to be acing every aspect of life since retirement in 2016 after 12 NFL seasons with his wife of 10 years, Lindsey, and four children.
Not the man who went back to finish his college degree in 2016 and had accumulated an impressive real estate portfolio, opened five restaurants and written three children s books. Not the man whose Jackson in Action 83 Foundation served more than 12,000 active military members and their families at MacDill Air Force Base, along with reservists and retired service members.

OLDSMAR â When Vincent Jackson appeared in the Oldsmar City Council Chambers building in August 2019, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star literally stood out in the crowd.
The 6-foot, 5-inch wide receiver, who played 12 seasons in the NFL, including five with the Bucs, struck an imposing figure, impeccably dressed and bowing to reach the microphone as a member of a group presenting a proposal for a development as part of the Oldsmar Town Center project.
The three-time Pro Bowler had already developed friendships with some council members, and while Jacksonâs group wasnât selected, he definitely made a lasting impression during his presentation.
