Deputy dies in line of duty before high-speed chase and crash on Southern California highway
A San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputy tragically passed away after being shot while responding to a domestic violence incident in Rancho Cucamonga. Deputy Andrew Nunez lost his life at a local hospital after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head. The assailant, who later engaged in a high-speed chase on the 210 Freeway resulting in a violent crash, fired at Nunez upon the deputies' arrival at the scene on Hollyhock Drive. Deputy Nunez, a six-year veteran with the Sheriff's Department, leaves behind a wife, a 2-year-old daughter, and was anticipating the arrival of a second child. The suspect responsible for the shooting is currently in stable condition in the hospital following the crash. The Sheriff expressed deep sorrow over the loss, stating that incidents like these sadly occur too frequently. Sheriff Dicus indicated that his deputies have been involved in 81 shootings since he took office in 2022. Further details on this tragic event will be shared as they become available.
