A veteran Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy has died six months after he was seriously hurt when a fire broke out inside a trailer serving as a mobile shooting range

, his family said Sunday. Alfredo “Freddy” Flores died from his injuries Saturday night, Joe A. Nunez, an attorney for the family, confirmed to KABC-TV. Flores and another longtime deputy were critically injured on Oct. 10 when equipment malfunctioned inside the approximately 50-foot trailer at a training facility northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Crews fought the flames for several hours and were challenged by live ammunition that was still inside the trailer.

The department hasn’t released the results of its investigation into the accident at a sprawling campus that also houses the Pitchess Detention Center, a county jail. Flores was a deputy for 22 years and his assignments included the North County Correctional Facility and Altadena Station. The name of the other injured deputy hasn’t been released. Luna has said the deputy worked for the department for 17 years.
