On July 22,\n2023, Deputy Sheriff Alejandro Martinez succumbed to injuries sustained on\nNovember 16th, 2022, as he and other recruits from Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s\nDepartment Academy Class 464 ran in formation as part of their morning physical\nfitness routine.
\n
\nThe academy class of 75 recruits was running in formation when an oncoming\nvehicle veered over the center line and struck the group near the intersection\nof Mills Avenue and Telegraph Road in Whittier. A total of 25 recruits were\nstruck by the vehicle before it came to a stop. Twelve of the recruits suffered\ncritical injuries that ended their careers.
\n
\nDeputy Martinez was sworn in as a sheriff’s deputy two weeks after the\nincident. He remained hospitalized in critical condition until succumbing to\nhis injuries eight months later.
\n
\nThe driver who struck the group was charged with two counts of vehicular\nmanslaughter with gross negligence and nine counts of reckless driving on a\nhighway.
\n
\nDeputy Martinez was a U.S. Army National Guard soldier and had served with the\nLos Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for only eight weeks at the time he was\ninjured. He is survived by his father and sister.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
