A fundraising campaign has been launched to support Corpus Christi Police Officer Jose “Flo” Flores, who was shot in the arm while on duty last month and is unable to work the extra jobs his family depends on during his recovery.
The GoFundMe account was created to help cover medical bills, lost wages and household expenses for Flores, a husband and father of three who was injured during a Jan. 23 shooting incident that also left Senior Officer Alexandria Cano-Castro hospitalized with a head wound.
“While he is expected to make a full recovery, the injury has left him unable to work the extra jobs his family depends on, creating financial strain from lost wages and medical expenses,” the fundraiser states.
