Reading this statement, rest in peace to Alec Sanders who served 8 months of service from the Alhambra and 1 year of the Long Beach Police Department. He had much to accomplish and leaving his fiancee behind I'm this world. At every young age, no human should ever be taken away this early when not making their dreams come true or creating many more memories. My condolences to his fiancee and siblings he had left behind them from his sacrificed and hard work he's done.
