A California sheriff’s deputy is facing charges in connection with his role in a September 2025 crash in Beaumont that killed 21-year-old Gavin Hinkley and left his 20-year-old fiancée, Madeline Fox, with severe, life-altering injuries. The couple was only weeks away from their wedding, and their families now say their lives have been irreparably “shattered.”
According to CNN, Riverside County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Glynn Wilburn, 42, sped through a red light and struck Hinkley’s vehicle while the couple was out running errands in their city. Wilburn was reportedly responding to a shots-fired call. However, dispatch records indicated that other officers had already responded to the incident.
