For the second time in just a week, California has lost another officer in the line of duty. Today the Vacaville Police Department grieves with the family of San Bernardino County Deputy Sheriff Andrew Nunez, who was tragically killed on Monday, October 27th.
Deputy Nunez was responding to a call involving a woman being threatened by an armed man in a domestic violence incident. When he and his partners arrived, the suspect opened fire, striking Deputy Nunez in the head. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later passed away. The suspect fled on a motorcycle, leading law enforcement on a dangerous pursuit along a major freeway. An off-duty narcotics officer intervened, striking the suspect’s motorcycle and bringing the chase to an end.
Deputy Nunez served with the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department for 6 years and was known for serving with deep compassion for the community he served. He is survived by his expectant wife, two year old daughter, mother and four siblings.
The Vacaville Police Department sends its sincerest condolences to Deputy Nunez's family, brothers and sisters with and all those who knew and loved him. His sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace, #3181.
