CINCINNATI — The family of a Rumpke driver found dead inside a vehicle in Roselawn Monday said he was "the life of the party."
Cincinnati police said officers responded to the 7100 block of Eastlawn Drive just before 9 a.m. Monday following a report of an unresponsive person found in a vehicle. Police discovered 30-year-old Angel Flores, who had been shot. Cincinnati Fire personnel at the scene determined Flores was dead.
Rumpke Waste & Recycling said Flores was one of their residential drivers.
"Nothing is more important than our team members and their safety," Rumpke said in a statement. "We are a close team, and today, all of our hearts are broken. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and co-workers of our driver. As we communicate this difficult information to our family of employees we will do so with great care and will make Employee Assistance Programs available as needed."
His wife, Kaitlyn, provided WCPO 9 with a statement remembering Flores.
"Angel was a loving husband and father to two children. He was always the life of the party always wanting to make someone laugh. Angel was a very motivated person and hard worker. He will truly be missed by his family and a lot of friends," she said.
CPD's Homicide Unit is investigating Flores' death. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 513-352-3542.
