Detective Jason Porter, who was on scene within minutes of when the accident occurred, has provided the following statement regarding the memorial to Cale Barrios.
 
“Cale played baseball for Cushing high school, and he wore #3, so I chose to paint the white #3 on my window and tie a purple ribbon on the vehicle representing his jersey number and his school colors. This is our way of saying that we, as a Police Department, will honor and remember Cale during this difficult time for his family, friends, and teammates.”
