We stand ready to assist our brothers and sisters at Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to honor their fallen Deputy Vargas.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department mourns the loss of Deputy Levi Vargas, who passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the age of 30.

Deputy Vargas joined the Department in 2015 as a Custody Assistant and later graduated from Academy Class 413. He served in several assignments throughout his career, most recently at San Dimas Station. He was known among his colleagues and friends for his professionalism, commitment, and compassion to our communities.

His loss is deeply felt across our Department, and he will be greatly missed.

Deputy Vargas is survived by his wife, parents, siblings, and extended family.

We honor his service and legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.
