I hope his soul finds peace when the killers are found and brought to justice.

[Moonbaby]

What an awful thing to happen!! My prayers for his family 😢 I hope they catch who did this and bring them to justice!

[deeann]

How awful. I hope they get who did this.

[DeaconClash]

An LA County Sheriff? Odds are good that he had it coming. LASD is as dirty as law enforcement comes.

[dansand]

Doesnt the police vehicle have cameras that see at those angles?

[joeyl.rowland]

Why catch his killer, he/she will get out without bond.😂😂😂😂

[michaelrael]

As far as I'm concerned this is gang violence. Gangster v gangster.

[lionsdejudah]

Cut his family a $11K check and call it good, his life had limited value….

[barbarablackman]

I'm sorry for the loss to his family but what make his life more important than all the other people who are be killed and no suspects?

[keithlewis]

That creacher better open up an abyss and pull it in after him or her. That car is too hot to be driving anywhere now. R.I.P. Deputy. Looks like it's open season on police officers.

[johndunn]

This is what happens to good cops. Most likely this is a hit from LASO's own tattooed gangbangers for him not being on the take. 'gotta go along to get along '.

[lawnpro]

I Bet they have the suspect by tomorrow!

[coreysanders]

🤣🤣🤣c-e-l-e-b-r-a-t-e good times c'mon, let's celebrate

[Rocksblowspark]

If they don’t find the assassin they gonna make someone else pay I won’t hold my breath because this seems like gang activity two different gangs beefing

[YESHUA_IS_THE_WAY]

that was a hired hit not some random act of violence only the Mexican cartel do hits like that what was he involved in
