NEBRASKA -- The Nebraska State Patrol are paying their respects to a fallen trooper.

The 14-year-veteran of NSP, Nicholas Goodwin, was found dead inside his patrol car last week. 

Goodwin had died from an "apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound." 

He served on the carrier enforcement division in Scottsbluff. 

Troopers lined the highway Monday as Goodwin made his way across the state line to his final resting place in Iowa.

NSP is asking for privacy for Goodwin's family. Memorial services have yet to be announced.
