Héroe de tercera generación y veterano de guerra: Randy Hoppert es el primer oficial caído en California este 2026
CALIFORNIA.- El detective Randy Hoppert, de 35 años y veterano con 6 años de servicio en el Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, fue asesinado este jueves 9 de abril de 2026 en Porterville, California.
El incidente ocurrió mientras cumplía con su deber al servir una orden de desalojo, convirtiéndose en el primer oficial de la ley caído en el estado en lo que va del año.
Tragedia durante un desalojo rutinario en Porterville
Según el comunicado oficial de la oficina del Sheriff de Tulare, el suceso comenzó alrededor de las 10:20 a.m. en una residencia ubicada en el área de Newcomb y Grand, cerca de Brian Avenue.
Los agentes se presentaron en el lugar para ejecutar una orden de desalojo contra el inquilino de una vivienda.
Los hechos según el Sheriff Mike Boudreaux
El sospechoso, identificado como David Morales, de 59 años, habría estado esperando a los oficiales para abrir fuego de inmediato, citan agencias policiacas.
- El ataque: Al recibir el llamado de auxilio, el detective Randy Hoppert respondió a la escena, donde fue alcanzado por los disparos.
- Fallecimiento: Hoppert fue trasladado de urgencia al Sierra View Medical Center, donde lamentablemente falleció a causa de las heridas sufridas.
Final del enfrentamiento: uso de vehículo blindado
Tras el tiroteo inicial, David Morales se atrincheró en la propiedad durante varias horas.
Cerca de las 6:00 p.m., el sospechoso salió de la vivienda continuando con las agresiones armadas.
El enfrentamiento concluyó cuando un vehículo blindado BearCat del equipo SWAT del Condado de Kern lo atropelló intencionalmente, causándole la muerte en el lugar.
“No le disparen a policías. Él recibió lo que merecía. Queríamos que saliera pacíficamente, pero eligió este camino”, declaró el Sheriff Mike Boudreaux.
