The Las Vegas Police Department honoured K9 Officer Nicky with a funeral service on Wednesday, April 6.
Nicky was killed in the line of duty on March 31 while pursuing a homicide suspect.
The eight-year-old Belgian Malinois had worked with the Las Vegas Police Department for six years.
Sgt. Eric Kerns, who spoke at the funeral and received Nicky’s coffin flag, had been his handler for the last three years.
Several other K9 officers paid tribute to the fallen dog at the service, which can be see in this video.
On March 31, James Craig Simpson, 31, was shot and wounded by police, and Nicky was killed in the exchange of bullets.
Police said earlier this week that Nicky was struck by a single bullet from one of the officers.
Local reports state Simpson had killed two people before police arrived after his mother alerted them to her son’s erratic behavior.
Brandon Hughes and his mother, Felecia Wimberly-Hughes, were found dead at the scene.
Nicky had been back to duty since the beginning of March.
He had been wounded when a suspect slashed the dog during a standoff with police in February.
