More than a dozen McDonald’s locations in the Northland will donate a portion of their Tuesday sales to the family of a North Kansas City police officer who was shot to death last week.

Fourteen locations said they will donate 10% of all day sales to the family of Officer Daniel Vasquez, 32, who was killed last week while performing a traffic stop, according to a Facebook post.

The participating locations include:

  • 2200 Vernon Street, North Kansas City

  • 4002 North Oak Trafficway, Kansas City

  • 5353 Northwest 64th Street, Kansas City

  • 9701 North Ash Avenue, Kansas City

  • 9851 Northeast Barry Road, Kansas City

  • 500 West 92 Highway, Kearney

  • 918 South 291 Highway, Liberty

  • 6305 North Antioch Road, Gladstone

A public visitation will be held for Vasquez from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Vineyard Church at 12300 Northwest Arrowhead Trafficway in Kansas City. His funeral will be held at the same location Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Members of the public can also attend a procession following the service Wednesday that will leave from Vineyard Church and move toward White Chapel Memorial Gardens.

Vasquez was fatally shot around 10:40 a.m. last Tuesday in North Kansas City when he pulled over a gray sedan that had an expired Missouri temporary tag, police said. A 24-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the killing and is currently being held in the Clay County jail on $2 million bail.

Community members have left flowers and candles around his patrol car, which sits as a memorial outside the North Kansas City Police Department. They’ve also donated to a fund created by the Kansas City Fraternal Order of Police created to support Vasquez’s family.

Vasquez’s parents, siblings and fiancée described him as a “shining star to all who crossed paths with him” in his obituary published Monday.

He worked various security jobs in Jackson and Wyandotte counties before joining the Kansas City Police Department as a detention officer from March 2019 to July 2020, according to his obituary.

Vasquez joined the North Kansas City Police Department as a recruit officer in January 2021. He became a full officer after graduating from the KCPD Regional Police Academy in July 2021.

He has since been awarded the Medal of Valor by the North Kansas City Police Department.
