🕊️DOMINGO “MINGO” FLORES🕊️
TMPA joins Crystal City ISD Police Department in mourning the loss of Officer Domingo “Mingo” Flores.

04/11/2026

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of CCISD Police Officer Domingo Flores, who has gained his wings. Officer Flores served our school district with unwavering integrity, courage, and dedication. Every day, he worked to ensure the safety and well being of our students, staff, and community, always putting others before himself.

His presence brought comfort, his commitment inspired trust, and his impact will never be forgotten. He was more than an officer, he was a protector, a role model, and a valued member of our CCISD family.

Officer Flores will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. We ask that you keep his family, friends, and fellow officers in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Partner. Thank you for your service. 💙
