Our thoughts and prayers are with the Maciel and @LASDHQ families as they grieve the unexpected passing of Deputy Martin Maciel.

RIP 🕊️💔

[LA County Sheriffs @LASDHQ]

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic loss of Deputy Martin Maciel, a ten-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and an Army Reservist, who passed away as a result of an off-duty traffic collision this past weekend.

Deputy Maciel joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 2016 and graduated from Academy Class #417. He began his career at Twin Towers Correctional Facility and later transferred to his patrol assignment at Transit Services Bureau. In 2019 he transferred to Norwalk Station where he later became a motorcycle deputy.

Throughout his years of service, Deputy Maciel was a valued member of the department, and his dedication will be remembered by those who had the privilege of serving alongside him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him.
