Deputy Sheriff killed in the line of duty

[Nathan]

San Bernardino County Deputy Sheriff Andrew Nunez was shot and killed near a residence in the 12300 block of Hollyhock Drive in Rancho Cucamonga yesterday, Octoboer 27, 2025 at approximately 12:37 p.m.

Deputy Nunez was responding to a call of a woman being threatened by an armed man in Rancho Cucamonga. When Deputy Nunez arrived, the armed man shot him in the head and then fled on a motorcycle.

Deputy Nunez was immediately transported to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, where, despite lifesaving efforts, he succumbed to his injuries.

Local law enforcement tracked the suspect on his motorcycle along the 210 highway, where he led them on a high-speed pursuit until he was knocked off his motorcycle by a sedan that swerved into his lane. He was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.

Deputy Nunez had served with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for six years. He is survived by his expectant wife, two-year-old daughter, his mother, and four siblings.

..and you the taxpayer will be paying for his upkeep..... he'll get fed, he'll get kept warm, he'll get to mix and make friends, he'll never have to make another decision for himself, he'll get visits from his family.. all paid for by the taxpayer..... ...hopefully San Bernardino still has the death penalty.. because these pond lives deserve nothing less...

...hopefully San Bernardino still has the death penalty.

California still has the death penalty, but the Gov. has put a lid on it. San Bernardino is a County, they can't pass Felonies for Capital punishment or not.

Rest In Peace, Brother. My prayers for Deputy Nunez's wife, children & family. My thoughts are also with his brothers & sisters in uniform who worked with him.

I agree with you @hollydolly (post #3) that these individuals deserve the death penalty when they take lives.

I have no doubt that he will. Prison is not the pleasant, cushy-comfy place some media would lead followers to believe.

What a sad story for the young officer and his family. It’s a dangerous job and you never know when you’re going to encounter somebody that’s absolutely crazy.

With a sort-of-step-son a deputy sheriff, this is the kind of story that scares the &*%@* out of me....
