A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy who was severely injured in a mobile shooting range fire in October has died.
Deputy Alfredo “Freddy” Flores succumbed to his injuries Saturday night after fighting for his life for months, attorney Joe A. Nunez told KTLA on behalf of the Flores family.
“Freddy valiantly fought for his life after sustaining severe injuries in the line of duty,” Nunez said. “Freddy was an amazing husband, father, son and brother…he loved working for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and dedicated his life to serving and protecting our community.”
In a statement issued late Sunday morning, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna said the department was “devastated” at the loss of a “well-respected” deputy who worked at the North County Correctional Facility, the Altadena sheriff’s station and Court Services West Bureau over his 22-year tenure with LASD.
