The man accused of shooting at deputies responding to a domestic violence call in Rancho Cucamonga, killing one of them, was identified by sheriff’s officials Tuesday, Oct. 28, as Angelo Jose Saldivar, 47, of San Bernardino.
Saldivar was hospitalized after leading San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies on a pursuit along the 210 Freeway shortly after, authorities said. he shot and killed Deputy Andrew Nunez as he responded to the initial call in the 12300 block of Hollyhock Drive just after 12:30 p.m.
Nunez, 28, was a father of a 2-year-old daughter and was expecting another child with his wife, sheriff’s officials said Monday afternoon.
He was a graduate of Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga in 2015, Dr. Mathew Holton, superintendent of the Chaffey Joint Union High School District, said in a statement Tuesday.
“Andrew was remembered by teachers and classmates as a kind, dedicated, and compassionate young man who exemplified the values of service and community that we strive to instill in all of our students,” Holton said. “Our hearts are with his family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time – especially his wife, young daughter, and the child they were expecting together.”
Nunez worked for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department as a deputy for six years, the department said.
Saldivar, according to public records, appeared to live on the block where the shooting occurred. He had not been booked into jail as of late morning Tuesday.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the area on a report that an armed man was threatening a woman, sheriff’s officials have said. The relationship, if any, between Saldivar and the woman was not known.
Saldivar allegedly immediately fired at the deputies as they arrived, hitting Nunez in the head, then fled on a motorcycle leading to the pursuit. At one point, he allegedly brandished a handgun and attempted to get it positioned in a hand while not holding the handlebars.
The crash occurred near the Campus Avenue exit of the eastbound 210 Freeway shortly after 1:30 p.m. when an off-duty narcotics officer used his car to intervene, sending the suspect toppling over the hood of the car and to the ground, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said.
Saldivar reached speeds over 150 mph during the pursuit, Dicus said.
At the Sheriff’s Department’s Rancho Cucamonga Station, a memorial had started for Nunez, which included a wreath of white and blue flowers from the El Monte Police Department, as well as other bouquets of flowers and candles.
