Officer Samuel Riveros Recognized for Bravery After Ambush in Baldwin Park

He was the first officer in Baldwin Park’s history to be killed in the line of duty and the motive behind the sh**ting may have started over a parking spot, though investigators have not confirmed that account.

A Tragic First in Baldwin Park
Officer Samuel Riveros, a nine-year veteran of the Baldwin Park Police Department, was ki**ed in the line of duty earlier this Summer, the first such d**th in the department’s history. The 35-year-old officer was responding to a call about a man f*ring a rifle when he was amb*shed and sh*t upon arrival.

The incident unfolded quickly: a man had allegedly sh*t and ki**ed another following a dispute, and when Riveros and his fellow officers arrived to assist, they came under immediate f*re.

“He would still run into that g*nfire. He would still take the bu**et,” said Detective Mark Berumen, who once patrolled alongside Riveros. “Without a doubt.”
