Beminio was killed about 20 minutes after 24-year-old Urbandale Officer Justin Martin was fatally shot less than 2 miles away.  Martin’s funeral is scheduled for 11:40-a.m. Tuesday at the South Calhoun Middle School, in his hometown of Rockwell City. He will be buried at Rosehill Cemetery, a spot on the edge of the community surrounded by farmland.
