San Bernardino DA Files 10 Counts in Deputy Andrew Nunez Killing

Prosecutors filed the enhancements to preserve potential penalties as they defer a death penalty decision.

Overview

  • Angelo Jose Saldivar, 47, was charged with 10 counts, including first-degree murder in the Oct. 27 shooting of Deputy Andrew Nunez.
  • Special circumstances allege the killing of a peace officer and a murder committed to escape arrest, positioning the case for enhanced punishment.
  • Prosecutors detailed additional counts tied to multiple victims, including attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment, domestic battery against his ex-wife, and four assaults with a semiautomatic firearm.
  • District Attorney Jason Anderson said 911 recordings from the incident capture gunfire, supporting allegations involving several reporting callers.
  • Authorities say Saldivar fled on a motorcycle, led a high-speed pursuit on the 210 Freeway before crashing and being hospitalized; he is booked with arraignment pending medical clearance.
