The Canyon Lake City Council on Wednesday honored two Riverside County deputies who were killed in the line of duty: Darnell Calhoun and Isaiah Cordero.

The February 8 council meeting began with a moment of silence, followed by Mayor Pro Tem Dale Welty presenting a proclamation for Deputy Calhoun and Councilman Mark Terry presenting a proclamation for Deputy Cordero.

Deputy Calhoun, 30, was fatally shot while responding to a domestic violence call on Friday, January 13, 2023, in the unincorporated area of Lakeland Village. He was a husband and a father of two young boys and a third baby boy on the way.

Deputy Cordero was fatally shot while attempting a traffic stop on Thursday, December 29, 2022, in the City of Jurupa Valley. Cordero, 32, started his career with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department on May 5, 2014, as a correctional deputy. He was promoted to a sworn deputy sheriff in 2018 and transferred to the Jurupa Valley Station in 2020. 

Cordero completed motor school in September 2022 and was working traffic enforcement as a motor deputy at the time of his death.

The day after the council honored Deputy Calhoun and Deputy Cordero, Orange County Deputy Brian Haney of Canyon Hills was killed in a single-vehicle accident on Railroad Canyon Road. He was off-duty and driving home when his vehicle struck a palm tree. Haney, 32, was a husband and a father of a one-month-old son.
