Deputy Escalante was a United States Army Reservist awarded
the Armed Forces Reserve Medal, Army Service Ribbon,
National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism
Service Medal, and the Army Achievement Medal.
He committed his life to his family and friends, and his
career to Los Angeles County and the safety of its
residents. He was loved by his friends and co-workers and
had earned a reputation for caring deeply for his partners
and for being firm yet fair with inmates.
On August 2, 2008, at the age of 27, Deputy Escalante was
killed outside his home in the City of Los Angeles. The
motive is unknown, the killer at large.
He is remembered as a passionate, loving husband to his
wife, Celeste, a loving son to his parents, Anna and Cesar
Powell, a caring father to his children Alexander, Julian
and Marisa, and a thoughtful sibling to his brothers, Edgar
and Cesar.
By naming a portion of SR 101 in Los Angeles in Deputy
Escalante's honor, this resolution seeks to recognize the
hazardous work and serious responsibility he accepted and
the strong commitment he demonstrated during his 2 years
as a law enforcement officer.
This resolution:
1.Designates the portion of SR 101 from North Mission Road
to North Alameda Street, including the on-ramps and
off-ramps of North Vignes Street, in Los Angeles as the
"Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy Juan Abel Escalante
Memorial Highway."
2.Requests the California Department of Transportation to
determine the cost of erecting appropriate signs,
consistent with the signing requirements for the state
highway system, and, upon receiving donations from
nonstate sources sufficient to cover that cost, to erect
those signs.
