Police Officer Gregg Casillas, age 30, died in the line of duty on March 9, 2018, in Pomona, California.

During the evening hours, officers attempted to make a reckless driving stop but the driver crashed into another vehicle and fled the scene on foot. He entered an apartment in the area. 

Gregg and another officer were attempting to make contact with the man when he fired through the apartment door. Both officers were wounded. 

Michael, Patron Saint of the
Police, pray for Gregg and
for those who have
lost him.

Both officers were rushed to a local hospital. Tragically, Gregg succumbed to his injuries.

The 39 year old shooter barricaded himself inside the apartment for over 15 hours before surrendering. He is charged with murder and attempted murder.

Gregg had worked in several civilian positions with the Police Department for three years before he entered the police academy.
