The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited by the family of Detective Victor Lemus and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to participate in the funeral service of their loved one. It will be our honor and privilege to attend.
Detective Lemus had served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for 22 years. Tragically, Detective Lemus was killed in a lethal blast with two other deputies while moving ordinance. All three were highly trained members of the department arson explosives detail.
Detective Lemus joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on July 1, 2003, as a Security Assistant. He completed the Deputy Sheriff Academy as a part of Class 339 in 2003 before he was assigned to Twin Towers Correctional Facility where he ran on the Baker to Vegas running team. Following that, he transferred to Century Station, where he worked as a Senior Training Officer and Detective. At Century Station he continued running on Baker to Vegas teams as an anchor for some of the most difficult legs of the relay race. He transferred to the Special Enforcement Bureau in 2017 where he was assigned as a K-9 Handler prior to becoming an Arson and Explosive Investigator last year. He received commendations for his ability to mentor and train fellow deputies as well as notable arrests involving career criminals.
Detective Lemus is survived by his wife and three daughters; three sisters; and four brothers.
