On top of a life sentence, Camacho gave Valencia a separate sentence of 278 years to life. In March 2018, two Pomona Police Department officers responded to reports of reckless driving and pursued the vehicle involved for a short distance after it failed to pull over.

Both were rushed to the hospital, where Casillas died after just six months on the job, the Pomona Police Department said. —©2024 Los Angeles Times.
