Tragedy Strikes SoCal: Suspect ID'd in Deputy's Killing, Wild Motorcycle Chase Leaves Community in Shock
A shocking turn of events unfolded in Rancho Cucamonga, California, as a suspect was identified in the fatal shooting of San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy Andrew Nuñez. The incident sparked a wild motorcycle chase that ended in a violent crash on the 210 Freeway, leaving many to wonder how things took such a deadly turn.
According to authorities, Angelo Jose Saldivar, 47, a resident of San Bernardino, is the suspect behind the killing of Nuñez. While Saldivar was taken into custody and transported to the hospital in stable condition after the crash, he remains under investigation for murder. Domestic violence charges may also be filed.
The incident occurred on Monday afternoon when deputies responded to a domestic violence call at a condominium complex in Rancho Cucamonga. As soon as they arrived at the scene, Saldivar fired upon the officers, striking Nuñez with a single gunshot wound to the head. The 28-year-old deputy was rushed to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
The chase that ensued saw Saldivar fleeing on his motorcycle, prompting an intense pursuit by law enforcement. A dramatic scene unfolded as officers engaged the suspect, who pulled out what appeared to be a weapon moments before the crash on the 210 Freeway. An off-duty narcotics officer conducted a "legal intervention" by striking the suspect on the motorcycle, which sparked the fatal accident.
The aftermath of the incident has left the community in shock, with hundreds of officers participating in a long procession to transport Nuñez's body from the hospital to the coroner's office. The governor and other officials have extended their condolences to Nuñez's family, friends, and colleagues, highlighting his courage, compassion, and dedication to protecting others.
In addition, a donation page has been set up by the sheriff's department to support Nuñez's pregnant wife, Roxy, who is also a stay-at-home mom. The outpouring of support from the community is a testament to the impact that one individual can have on the lives of those around them.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and share their thoughts on this senseless tragedy. In the meantime, the community remains in mourning for Deputy Nuñez, who will be remembered as a wonderful father and dedicated public servant.

28-yr-old cop down 
what's goin' on with these crazy people? 
domestic violence call turns into shootout & chase 
just when u think it can't get worse, he takes out a deputy 
gotta be some sick individual to do this 
and now an innocent officer is dead... i'm so glad law enforcement was on the scene, but ugh, that motorcycle chase was insane 
. it's crazy how something like this can happen in our own backyard. anyway, i wonder if there was more to that domestic violence call than meets the eye... maybe they should've gotten a warrant or somethin' 
. I'm not buying all this "community support" stuff either, sounds like just a bunch of PR to me... and another donation page to line someone's pockets... just great 
.
the fact that this man had to die like that is just heartbreaking 
and all because of someone else's anger issues 
it's a beautiful reminder of the good people out there
