DENVER (AP) -- Colleagues of a slain Denver police officer who was shot while trying to break up a fight are continuing some unfinished work for her.
Officer Celena Hollis planned to have Denver's Black Police Officers Organization host a bone marrow drive to increase the number of African-American donors. The organization held the drive in her honor on Friday.
She wanted to find more donors after hearing about a Colorado Army National Guard member in need of a live-saving marrow or stem cell transplant.
Hollis was killed on June 24 while trying to break up a fight following a free jazz concert at Denver's City Park.
Twenty-one-year-old Rollin Olliver is accused of firing multiple rounds during the altercation. Hollis, a former Detroit police officer, was shot in the head.
