Freddie Flores' family families files on the right death against Lasd after the deputy was burned in the fire of the mobile shot area

Los Angeles (KABC) – The family of a sheriff of a sheriff in Los Angeles County, who died after caught in a mobile shooting range, sued the county and the sheriff department for false death and said that the department had no gunpowder and other flammable materials.

“The Sheriff department did not comply with several orders from Cal/Osha … and let this flammable shooting powder accumulate over time,” said lawyer John Carpenter, who represents the family of the deputy Freddie Flores. “It accumulates and accumulates, and if you don't clean it as the manufacturer tells you that you should clean it, and if you don't clean it as Cal/Osha has ordered the district, it will be a fire at some point.”

In October 2023, Flores used a mobile shooting range in the Pitchess Detention Center for arms training.

According to the Carpenter, the Sheriff department uses the mobile fire areas to save money by taking them to different parts of the district, so that the MPs do not drive in overtime to drive into standard fire areas. But the followers, he says, are naturally unsure.

“The more compact it is and the more you use it, and the more relieving gunpowder it will be more tinderbox,” said Carpenter at a press conference on Monday morning. “Stop exposing our MPs and law enforcement authorities of this fatal threat.”

Carpenter quoted three other fires that broke out in the district's mobile shooting areas.

Paper stuff shows that Cal/Osha quoted the sheriff department several times due to uncertain violations in the mobile firing areas and punished a fine of more than 300,000 US dollars.

Eyewitness News turned to the department of the sheriff for a comment, but received no answer before our period.

The 51-year-old was a 22-year-old veteran of the sheriff department. He leaves a woman and four children.
