Legal dispute submitted

The lawsuit submitted by the family claims that a “sudden and malignant fire” broke out in the trailer, which causes Flores “severe inner and external incineration injuries” and ultimately caused his death. The lawsuit claims that the department of the district and the sheriff could not properly maintain the training facility, so that combustible materials such as gunpowder accumulate in the trailer.

What you say:

“He should be in a training facility in his comfort zone,” family lawyer John Carpenter told reporters at a press conference on Monday, in which the lawsuit was announced. “And only because the county of Los Angeles, the Sheriff department, did not meet more orders from Cal/Osha, did not meet the instructions from the manufacturer Inveris and (the) flammable shooting powder over time that accumulated that caused his death.

“That should never have happened, it was done with deliberate indifference of the district and has to stop.”

Our department is deeply sad about this tragic incident, which had the life of a committed and respected member of our department family, someone who served our community loyal to pride and commitment. Our hearts and thoughts remain with the entire Flores family in this incredibly difficult time, and we continue to be in grief with them. “

“Freddy was taken out of our lives far too early,” said a family explanation. “We miss his love, his attention, his protection and his sense of humor. This loss has left an enormous emptiness in our lives that our family continues to confront painfully every day.

“… While nothing can fill the emptiness that is left in the life of our family that arise from Freddy's early death, with this complaint we are looking for answers to our questions and the accountability obligation for the tragic incident that led him from our lives.”
