Thousands are expected at Eastern Kentucky University’s Alumni Coliseum Tuesday and Wednesday to pay their final respects to Daniel Ellis, the Richmond police officer shot and killed in the line of duty last week.

Visitation is Tuesday from 2 p.m. - 8 p.m.  at the Coliseum, with funeral services at the same site at 11 a.m. Wednesday.

A judge has set a $2.5 million bond for the ex-convict accused of ambushing and killing Ellis.

34 year old Raleigh Sizemore Jr. pleaded not guilty Monday to charges including murder of a police officer, attempted murder, unlawful imprisonment and possession of a handgun by a felon.
