What Happened
Deputy Sheriff Duke Trujillo died from complications as the result of contracting COVID-19 in the line of duty at the Downtown Detention Center.
Deputy Trujillo had served with the Denver Sheriff's Department for seven years.
Beginning in early 2020, thousands of law enforcement officers and other first responders throughout the country began to contract COVID-19 during the worldwide pandemic. Due to the nature of their job, law enforcement officers were required to work and interact with the community even as the majority of the country was self-quarantined. As a result, hundreds of officers died from COVID-related illnesses and other complications.
