"Human life is our most precious gift, and to lose the gift of life in your own home at the hands of someone you were engaged to is an indescribable tragedy. The badge is not a shield from prosecution; rather it is a symbol of the oath a sworn officer takes to uphold the law, on and off duty."
"On August 8, 2025, Ring camera footage showed Shaw, 35, leaving the couple's apartment to walk her dog around 5:10 a.m. and returning around 5:20 a.m. Hidalgo allegedly shot Shaw nine times after she returned to the apartment, including in the torso, right arm and in the head, according to the release. The gunshots were in 'close intermediate range' and were less than eight inches from Shaw's head."
Aimee Alexis Hidalgo, 28, a sheriff's deputy since 2021, turned herself in and was charged with voluntary manslaughter and firearm enhancement for killing her fiancée, Brittany Shaw, 35, on August 8, 2025. Ring camera footage documented Shaw leaving their Tustin apartment at 5:10 a.m. to walk her dog and returning at 5:20 a.m. Hidalgo allegedly shot Shaw nine times at close range, including in the torso, right arm, and head, with gunshots less than eight inches from Shaw's head. Hidalgo called 911 and administered CPR, but Shaw was pronounced dead at the scene. If convicted, Hidalgo faces a maximum of 21 years in state prison. The District Attorney emphasized that the badge does not shield officers from prosecution and that the law applies equally regardless of law enforcement status.
