Chesna was shot and killed Sunday morning when 20-year-old Emmanuel Lopes stole his service revolver during a foot pursuit and fired multiple shots at him, police said.
An account has since been set up at Equitable Bank to assist the Chesna family, the department said. The 42-year-old veteran officer leaves behind a wife and two children, ages 4 and 9.
Anyone wishing to make a donation to the family can make checks payable to the “OFFICER MICHAEL CHESNA FAMILY FUND.” The checks can be mailed or dropped off at the Weymouth police station.
