L.A. County Sheriff’s Department mourning ‘unexpected’ loss of longtime deputy
A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy who served the South L.A. community for ten years died Saturday, authorities said.
According to a sheriff’s department spokesperson, an ambulance was dispatched to the South Los Angeles station around 4 p.m. on calls of an unresponsive deputy.
The deputy, later identified as Jonathan Stewart, was pronounced dead at the scene.
LASD took to social media to mourn the “unexpected passing” and honor the commitment of Deputy Stewart, who joined the department as a custody assistant in 2006.
“Jonathan dedicated a decade serving the South Los Angeles community,” LASD said. “He was respected and highly regarded by his peers and his supervisors for his unwavering commitment.”
Deputy Stewart worked at the LASD Inmate Reception Center before being transferred to the South L.A. station in 2014, and in 2020, he was promoted to Field Training Officer, a position he held until his passing.
Deputy Stewart’s cause of death was not released.
He is survived by his wife and three children.
