Former Lieutenant Maya Valerio

 

       

    Yesterday, the Superior Court returned a guilty verdict against former Lieutenant Maya Valerio of the Los Santos Police Department, convicting her of Voluntary Manslaughter for the fatal shooting of John Doe on January 7, 2025, midnight, in Strawberry, Los Santos. 

 

   Our office thanks the investigators of the Los Santos Police's Internal Affairs group, Lieutenant Gianfranco Perez and Detective Jennifer Nam, for their diligence and professionalism in preparing this case for prosecution.

 

   The Justice System Integrity Division is dedicated to ensuring that even members of government are held accountable for criminal misconduct. Complaints can be filed by members of the public directly through our website.

 

    The District Attorney's Office hopes that this verdict will serve as a reminder of the high standards of professionalism and safety our law enforcement officers are expected to uphold. We thank again the Los Santos Police Department for their cooperation and their diligence in reaffirming our office's goal to move justice forward, and our thoughts are with the family of the victim during this difficult time. We hope that this conviction brings them some measure of justice and peace.
