Toronto police have released funeral details for Const. Jeffrey Northrup, who was killed in the line of duty.

The 31-year veteran of the service was struck by a car in the underground parking garage at City Hall early Friday morning and killed.

The general public may pay their respects at a visitation at the Kane-Jerrett Funeral Home in Thornhill Sunday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A funeral service will be held Monday afternoon at BMO Field which will be invitation-only.

Northup had been with the Toronto Police Service for more than 30 years. He is survived by his wife, three children and his mother.

Umar Zameer, 31, is facing a single count of first-degree murder in Northrup’s death.

He has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in court next on July 23, 2021.

Police said a publication ban prevents them from releasing any further details but did say there are no outstanding suspects.
