CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A local CrossFit gym is paying tribute to Officer Kyle Hicks with a special workout created in his memory, one year after his death.
Officer Hicks was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call on April 20, 2024 at an apartment complex on the city's south side. He died four days later from his injuries in a local hospital.
CrossFit Kohen, located at Rodd Field Road near Yorktown, developed a workout called "Hicks" that includes three exercises with numerical significance to the day he died.
"And we will do it every year. It serves as a reminder to us that freedom isn't free, and it takes a lot of mental and physical discomfort to do this job as a police officer. And it serves as a reminder for us to honor him," said Mandel.
The gym, known for honoring those who have served and sacrificed through hero workouts, opened its doors to all who wished to pay tribute to Officer Hicks' life. The memorial session concluded at 7 p.m.
