LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Great Las Vegas Taco Festival is doing its part to give back to the family of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Truong Thai.

Every year, Project Taco uses the festival to help out the community. This year, they chose to help officer Thai and his family.

Organizers say all parking entrance proceeds will be donated to Thai's family.

Thai was shot and killed Oct. 13 while responding to a domestic disturbance call near UNLV.

The Great Las Vegas Taco Festival starts Nov. 4 and runs through Nov. 6 at Craig Ranch Park in North Las Vegas.
