Man Shot by Police in Laguna Niguel Remembered Friday

After being shot and killed by police, a young dancer will be remembered Friday night.

He's gone but not forgotten.

A Friday memorial service for Connor Zion will be hosted by Londance dance studio, 27261 La Paz unit J, at 8:30 p.m.

Zion was shot and killed by an Orange County Sheriff's Department deputy after Zion allegedly attacked his roommate, mother and another deputy with a knife Sept. 24. The killing will be investigated by the district attorney's office.

Zion's mother Kim will be attending the memorial, according to a Londance announcement. A collection will be taken for a fund to help young dancers "just like Connor," according to Londance owner Patricia West. Zion danced in both Latin and swing styles, according to danceexperts.com.

"Lets join together and help the family at this dreadful time," West said, announcing the memorial online.
