A reputed gang member who allegedly shot a Los Angeles County sheriff’s motorcycle deputy in the back at a West Covina intersection—with a bulletproof vest saving the lawman’s life—pleaded not guilty May 13 to charges of attempted murder of a peace officer and other counts.
Raymundo Duran, 47, of Covina was ordered to remain jailed without bail. He was scheduled to return to court June 18 for a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for him to stand trial in connection with the April 22 attack on Deputy Samuel Aispuro.
