SUMMARY:
On Monday, October 27, 2025, at about 12:37 p.m., deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Station responded to a residence in the 12300 block of Hollyhock Drive for a man with a gun who was threatening a female. When deputies arrived, they were immediately fired upon and Andrew Nunez, a deputy sheriff, was struck. Nunez was airlifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.
The suspect fled the location and led deputies, and other allied agencies, on a pursuit eastbound on the 210 Freeway. The suspect travelled at speeds of more than 150 mph. An narcotics deputy in an unmarked Sheriff’s Department vehicle conducted a pursuit intervention technique and collided with the suspect on the 210 Freeway at Campus Avenue, terminating the pursuit.
