MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA — The Miami-Dade community is heartbroken over the passing of Deputy Devin Jaramillo, a respected member of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, who passed away on Friday following a tragic incident in the Kendall District, which Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz described as a murder.
At just 27 years old, Deputy Jaramillo was a rising star in law enforcement — a proud graduate of Lateral Class #6 (May 2024) who served his community with unwavering commitment, professionalism, and compassion. Those who worked alongside him say he embodied the very best of public service — a man whose courage and heart shone through in everything he did.
“Devin was more than a deputy; he was a friend, a protector, and an inspiration,” one colleague shared. “He cared deeply about people and had a way of lifting everyone around him. His loss is felt deeply across our department.”
In a statement, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office expressed profound sorrow and gratitude for his service:
“Deputy Jaramillo’s life reflected integrity, dedication, and kindness. His commitment to the safety and well-being of our community will never be forgotten. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and fellow deputies as we grieve this tremendous loss.”
Deputy Jaramillo’s life was marked by purpose and passion — not only in his role as a deputy but also as a beloved son, friend, and colleague. Known for his humble nature and steady sense of duty, he left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz, speaking through tears, called his passing “a heartbreaking tragedy that has left a void in our law enforcement family.” She pledged continued support for his loved ones and reaffirmed that his memory would forever remain part of the department’s legacy.
Tributes continue to pour in from across the state, as fellow law enforcement officers and community members honor a young man whose life represented courage, compassion, and service beyond self.
Deputy Devin Jaramillo will forever be remembered for his bravery, kindness, and dedication to protecting others. Though his time with us was far too short, his impact will live on through the lives he touched and the community he served so faithfully.
May he rest in eternal peace, and may his family and brothers and sisters in blue find strength and comfort in knowing his light will never fade.
