HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — A beloved Henry County officer was laid to rest Sunday after he was shot and killed following a domestic incident on Nov. 5.
Officer Paramhans Desai was a beloved 17-year law enforcement veteran.
Desai's viewing took place at Henry County Performing Arts Center in McDonough from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. with a service following, according to the department.
He served much of his law enforcement career with the Georgia Department of Corrections before joining the Dekalb County Police Department in October of 2019 and the Henry County Police Department in 2020. He is a husband and the father of two small children.
One woman told 11Alive that Desai was an amazing officer that really cared about the community.
“Didn't seem like just a police officer who I looked at as an authority figure. I'd looked at him as someone comforting. As a friend, even though I had never seen him before," Jana Beasley said.
