Following tips from the community and a tense standoff early Sept. 18, police arrested a 29-year-old Palmdale man 36 hours after the ambush-style murder of a Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputy, according to Sheriff Robert Luna.
“Although we are extremely confident that we have the right person in custody, I am still asking people to come forward and give us any piece of information that they believe they have,” Mr. Luna said in a press conference Monday morning. “The arrest is only one part of this. We need to get this individual prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and we need the public’s help in doing that.”
