The team will wear the stickers for the remainder of the 2018 football season, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"In memory of his dedication and service to our community, the football team will celebrate his life and what he gave back to our area," the team said in a statement. "Officer Toney was taken from us as he protected a Gwinnett County Public School last week, doing a job he loved."

Toney, 30, was killed while responding to a suspicious vehicle call near a school. The alleged shooter—18-year-old Tafahree Maynard—was killed in a confrontation with police following a two-day manhunt.
