A person of interest has been detained in the shooting death of a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who was ambushed while in his patrol vehicle in Palmdale.
Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, a 30-year-old field training officer, was shot Saturday just outside the Palmdale Sheriff's Station at the corner of Sierra Highway and Avenue Q.
"This is absolutely unacceptable," Luna said. "Without warning, he was murdered while serving our community." Sunday afternoon Luna said investigators are looking for a "vehicle of interest" that was seen in the area near the deputy's vehicle around the time of the shooting. The car was described as a dark-gray 2006-12 Toyota Corolla.
A motive remains unclear. Investigators have not determined if the apparent ambush was personal, related to his job or a random incident just because Clinkunbroomer was in a marked patrol car.According to Luna, Clinkunbroomer was an eight-year veteran of the department and had been with the Palmdale station since July 2018."Not just anybody becomes a field training officer, it's usually the best of the best," said Luna.
