A solemn procession will set off from the El Monte Police Department headquarters Thursday morning en route to the Toyota Arena in Ontario, where a memorial service will be held for two El Monte police officers fatally shot in the line of duty.
The service will begin around 10 a.m. and last until about 1 p.m. It will not be open to the public but will be open to all uniformed law enforcement personnel, who are expected to turn out in force.
Paredes began as an EMPD cadet and was sworn in as a full-time police officer in July 2000, city officials said. He is survived by his wife of 18 years, a 16-year-old daughter and a 14-year-old son. Flores was given a plea deal last year that allowed him to avoid prison time for being in possession of a firearm. As a result of the plea, charges of methamphetamine possession and being a felon in possession of ammunition were dropped, and Flores was placed on two years probation, serving just 20 days in jail.
