Overview
- Deputy Andrew Nunez, 28, was fatally shot in the head Monday while responding to a report of an armed man threatening a woman in the 12300 block of Hollyhock Drive.
- Authorities identified the suspect as 47-year-old Angelo Jose Saldivar, who fled on a motorcycle before crashing on the 210 Freeway after an off-duty narcotics deputy conducted a confirmed legal intervention.
- Saldivar was taken into custody in stable condition and, according to the sheriff’s department, will be booked for murder once medically cleared.
- The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office has not announced formal charges and says it is evaluating the case as a potential murder of a peace officer.
- Hundreds attended a candlelight vigil at Rancho Cucamonga City Hall, flags were lowered statewide, and donations for Nunez’s family are being coordinated through the Peace Officers Research Association of California.
