Tributes to Ahmed Merabet near where he was gunned down on Boulevard Richard Lenoir in Paris, 7 January 2015
Ahmed Merabet had just been promoted to the Judicial Police
Then, as he lay on the ground, a gunman shot him in the head from close range, in an act captured on amateur video.
He was a Muslim - a fact picked up by bloggers seeking to defend the community against "terrorist" slurs.
The hash tag #JeSuisAhmed (I am Ahmed) is being circulated on social media in his memory. "In your memory we won't allow people hurt and insult your Muslim community because of this terrorist act. You're a hero," wrote one tweeter.
He had just been promoted to the Judicial Police. Police union rep Rocco Contento described Mr Merabet as "someone very discreet and conscientious".
According to his brother Malek, Mr Merabet was "Muslim, and very proud of being a police officer and defending the values of the Republic".
He had worked hard to look after his mother and family over the last 20 years, his brother added.
