Overview
- Angelo Jose Saldivar, 47, was charged with first-degree murder and nine other counts in the fatal shooting of Deputy Andrew Nunez during a domestic violence response in Rancho Cucamonga.
- Prosecutors filed special-circumstance allegations for killing a peace officer and for murder to avoid arrest, along with firearm enhancements, which elevate the potential sentence if proven.
- The complaint names multiple additional victims, including Saldivar’s ex-wife, and adds counts of attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment by violence, battery on a spouse, and four assaults with a semiautomatic firearm.
- Authorities say Saldivar fled on a motorcycle, led a 210 Freeway pursuit at speeds above 150 mph, and crashed after an off-duty narcotics deputy intervened; that intervention is under parallel review by the DA’s office.
- Saldivar remains hospitalized and will be arraigned once medically cleared, with court records listing a first appearance for Tuesday; Nunez, 28, was a six-year veteran survived by a pregnant wife and a young daughter.
