Mural for Healing Honors Fallen Detective | Jefferson City News

In Herman, community members rallied on Sunday for a heartfelt fundraiser and day of healing to honor Detective Mason Griffith, who tragically died in the line of duty three years ago. Partnering with Casey’s Gas Station — which is matching every dollar raised — the event featured food, live music, and a silent auction, all to support a memorial mural being commissioned by Missouri’s Artist of the Year, Ray Harvey. The mural will be painted on the very wall where the incident occurred, aiming to bring closure rather than pain. With the sentencing for the shooting this year, America’s 250th birthday, and Harvey’s prestigious award aligning perfectly, organizers say now is the right time to commemorate. They’ve already surpassed half their $50,000 goal — and donations are still welcome via the Chief Mason Griffith Foundation website.
