Dan Espinoza (Earth-666)

"The best part of life, being a parent, is that you get to slow down and enjoy it."

- Dan Espinoza

Daniel "Dan" Espinoza was a detective-sergeant for the Los Angeles Police Department.

Early Life
At some point, Daniel Espinoza met and got married to Chloe Decker, and they had a child together named Trixie Espinoza. They later separated at some point prior to 2016. Espinoza also sided against Decker in the Palmetto Street case.

Delilah's Murder
In 2016, Espinoza went to a crime scene where a famous singer named Delilah had been murdered in a drive-by shooting, where he was met by Decker. He explained to her that the shooter was named Eddie Deacon and that the killing was likely drug related as they both had drugs on them, but she remained unconvinced after seeing that he was wearing an expensive watch that a low-level drug dealer wouldn't have been able to afford.

The next day, he arrived at Harris Place Elementary School to pick up Trixie after she had been suspended for getting into a fight with a bully. He was late which angered Decker and caused an argument between the two which was eventually broken up by Lucifer. He then took Trixie home.
