Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Amber Leist, a 12-year veteran and devoted mother of two sons, tragically lost her life on Sunday while performing an act of kindness.
Off-duty, Detective Leist stopped her vehicle to help an elderly pedestrian who had fallen in the street. After assisting the person to safety, she was struck by a passing car as she returned to her own vehicle. Despite immediate aid from the driver and rapid transport to the hospital, she passed away.
