Battle of the Badges XI: member Mandel Estepa victorious

June 18, 2014 By Teo Millan

On Saturday, June 14, 2014 the Battle of the Badges XI was held at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel.  Boxers from local fire/police departments, Border Patrol, Department of Corrections, Probation, Navy and Marines came together to represent their departments and test their mettle against each other in the ring.

FALEO member Mandel “Code 8” Estepa (5’8, 165 pounds) was pitted against Darryl “The Doctor” Roberts (5’11, 169 pounds) from CV Fire.  As the bell rang, each boxer took only a moment to size each other up before the fight was at full speed.  Both traded punches amid the cheers from TEAM ESTEPA.  There was non-stop action from beginning to end.  Estepa won rounds 1 and 3 to take the match by decision.

The event helped raise money to support local boxing programs for the youth.

Congratulations Mandel!!

🇺🇸🇵🇭**Today marks the 14th Anniversary 🇺🇸🇵🇭**Today marks the 14th Anniversary of the Murder of our @faleo_sf brother, Officer Bryan Tuvera.**
••••••••
Officer Tuvera was shot and killed while in pursuit of an escaped convict. 

Officers spotted the escapee walking on the street and recognized him from flyers that had circulated at the Taraval Station, describing him as an escapee who was considered armed and dangerous. When officers approached him he fled on foot.

After officers set up a search perimeter, Officer Tuvera and his partner spotted the escapee near 25th Avenue and Lawton Street. They chased him to a two-story house on 25th Avenue, where the suspect ran into a garage after kicking in the door. 

When Officer Tuvera and his partner entered the garage, the escapee turned and fired, striking Officer Tuvera. Officer Tuvera's partner returned fire at the suspect, who then committed suicide. 

Officer Tuvera was transported to San Francisco General Hospital where he succumbed to his wound early the next morning.

Officer Tuvera was only 28 years old and had served with the San Francisco Police Department for 4 1/2 years. He is survived by his wife, who also serves as a San Francisco police officer, mother, and sister.

SDPD Officer Jonathan Matias DeGuzman (affectionately known as JD) was born in the Philippines on September 17, 1972.  He and his family moved to the United States when he was 20 in search of the American dream. 
On October 2000, he made a big step towards fulfilling that dream.  He joined the San Diego Police Department as part of the 48th Academy.  After graduation, he worked as a patrol officer in the Mid-City Division.  This is one of the busiest and most diverse divisions in San Diego.  While serving that community, JD was stabbed by a suspect during a traffic stop.  He was awarded a Purple Heart for sustaining a life-threatening injury while on-duty. 
In 2010, he joined the Gang Suppression Team (GST). JD also fulfilled a career goal by becoming a member of the SWAT team.  He showed his persistence and determination after not making the team the first time he tried out. 
During his duties as a GST officer, JD was involved in the investigation of a suspect who had been building improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and had set off bombs throughout San Diego.  While trying to arrest the suspect, JD and the rest of his team were involved in a shoot-out with the suspect.  The suspect was armed with a rifle, handgun and several bombs.  For their dedication to duty and heroism, JD and GST were awarded the Meritorious Service medal.
JD, ever the humble person he is, hardly wore the medals he deserved.  Instead, he proudly wore an American flag on his uniform.  When asked why he doesn’t wear his medals, JD said he didn’t want to stand out. 
On August 28, 2016, JD and his partner Wade Irwin were patrolling the southeast area of San Diego.  While trying to conduct a pedestrian stop, they were met with gunfire.  Officer Irwin sustained injuries to his neck, and later recovered.  JD was hit on the torso just a few inches above his bulletproof vest.  He passed away from his injuries. 
JD is survived by his parents, his wife, Jane and two children, Jonathan Jr. and Amira.  JD was very much involved in his community.
🇺🇸🇵🇭 Happy Filipino American History M 🇺🇸🇵🇭 Happy Filipino American History Month!  Congrats to @jokoy (JO KO) for your @thecityofsandiego Day 🙌🏽
