Juan Carlos Espinoza, 50, was killed on December 2, 2015, at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. He was one of 14 victims shot during a holiday party for the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, where Espinoza worked as an environmental health inspector. Colleagues and family remembered him for his dedication and fairness in his professional role.

The attackers, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, opened fire at the gathering. The couple were later killed in a shootout with law enforcement; the FBI led an investigation that classified the incident as an act of terrorism and reported the perpetrators were motivated by extremist ideologies. No other suspects were identified.

Families of the victims pursued lawsuits against the county and other entities alleging negligence and inadequate security. Does anyone have memories of Juan Carlos or information about his work at the health department to share?
