#JusticeinPimaCounty: Week 30
#FromLaura

Earlier today, we learned that 20-year-old EMT Jake Dindinger succumbed to the injuries he sustained during the multiple casualty incident on Sunday, July 18. That event has now taken four lives: a Good Samaritan neighbor, an EMT in the line of fire, a big-hearted cheerful woman, and a man reportedly suffering serious mental illness who gained access to a firearm.

Ordinarily, I do not and will not comment in any detail on pending cases, because in doing so, the future jury could be improperly swayed. This situation is different. Because the suspect is deceased, and because our Office’s portion of the investigation concluded this morning, I will be able to discuss the event and, more importantly, prevention in greater detail next week.

With gratitude for volunteers and staff at TPD and City Council Ward Five, our notice of victim services to all the good people of the Vistas, Western Hills, and Pueblo Gardens have been dropped at homes, and our victim advocates remain present with the directly-impacted families.

There are too many moments in our building like this, where we are left discouraged and wishing we could somehow have prevented such a horrific event. What we teach here is to take that frustration and direct it to all the good we can do.

Our Civil Division spent the week tirelessly offering emergency legal opinions to the County as the COVID variant threatens to set us back. It was extraordinary to get final editing privileges over document after document aiming to keep Pima County residents and, most especially, our unvaccinated children as safe and healthy as they can be.

This Office is Southern Arizona’s largest law firm, handling the most critical issues in the most challenging of times. Even on a day like today, they stand resilient.

PCAO has been collecting donations of school supplies from our entire office for the 10th annual Arizona Bilingual Newspaper Kidz Expo & Back to School Event. We’re grateful to play a small role in making sure school supplies get out to those who need them the most.

Today, Community Outreach Coordinator Patrick Robles went over to drop off our donations. The expo is this Saturday at TCC from 10a to 1p.

Laura spoke to a room full of law enforcement officers from Tucson PD, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, UArizona PD, Pima Community College PD & others this morning for Crisis Intervention Training.

“No police officer dreams of going to the academy to bust people for drug possession. Nor does the public want that to be your priority. The more we can get resources into mental health and domestic violence prevention and substance use disorder, the more you can all focus on victim-based crime.”
