The Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia shared a photo of Timothy on social media, saying he was a veteran detective who served 20 years on the force.
Most recently, he worked as a detective on the Homicide Unit’s Natural Squad.

‘Det. Francis had 20 years of service. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family & loved ones.’

The Washington D.C. Police Union added that Timothy’s career in law enforcement followed his father’s footsteps. 
‘Tim was one of the best detectives in CID. His father was also a detective that worked nearly 45 years for MPD,’ the DC Police Union wrote.
‘Tim was a stand up guy that always held his ground. We are all still reeling from this news. The MPD has lost a true detective today and he will not soon be replaced.’
