Crime Wave: Five Police Officers Killed in Line of Duty in First 24 Days of 2022John Binder 24 Jan 2022
In the first 24 days of the new year, a total of five police officers across three states have been killed in the line of duty as a crime wave continues sweeping the United States.
Officer Fernando Arroyos had served three years with the Los Angeles Police Department in California when, on January 10, he was allegedly robbed at gunpoint by members of the F-13 Gang. At the time of the robbery, Arroyos and his girlfriend were looking at a home for sale when the gang members confronted them.
Arroyos, while getting his girlfriend to safety, was shot at by the gang members. Arroyos returned fire but had been wounded. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died from his injuries.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged 29-year-old Luis Alfredo De La Rosa Rios, 22-year-old Ernesto Cisneros, 34-year-old Jesse Contreras — all of whom are F-13 Gang members — as well as 18-year-old Haylee Marie Grisham, Rios’s girlfriend, with violating racketeering laws.
Meanwhile, in New York City, New York, on January 21, 22-year-old New York Police Department (NYPD) Officer Jason Rivera was allegedly murdered by a career criminal out on probation, 47-year-old Lawshawn McNeil, while responding to a domestic violence dispute with his partner.
Rivera’s wife posted a message to her late husband, writing “I love you till the end of time.” The couple had just married on October 9, 2021.
