He was 26-year-old Samuel Nunez of Lancaster, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.
The shooting happened around 6:05 p.m. Sunday, March 13, in the 6900 block of Jack Rabbit Way, near 70th Street East, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
The deputies were following up on a domestic violence incident from earlier in the evening and attempted to make contact with Nunez as he was seated inside a vehicle, sheriff’s officials said.
“The suspect [Nunez] attempted to flee the location and rammed two patrol vehicles several times. After ramming one of the deputy’s vehicles, a deputy-involved shooting occurred. … It was later determined the suspect [Nunez] was not involved in the early domestic violence call,” the sheriff’s new release states.
Anyone who witnessed this shooting is encouraged to call the LASD’s homicide bureau at 323-890-5500 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

Bunch of low key racists in these comments haha. Bet alot of them are Trump supporters who supported the traitors on January 6th. Maybe those guys should’ve just complied with LE and they wouldn’t have been nabbed by the feds. Regardless, those lowlife pieces of trash deserve the punishment for treason. Patriots my ass…

I see ignorance is contagious
"unwoke" yourselves says
traitors indeed! Pelosi will not release video footage of one of the most guarded buildings in the world for a reason. The doors to get in are so thick you would have to blast them open. I am not saying anyone was in the right for entering the building, what I am saying is OPEN your eyes. There is no way this was by accident. There was a purpose for the doors to be opened from the inside. The people who allowed this to happen want their reasons guarded. Tom Fitton sued for the January 6th camera footage and information as to why the national guard was refused, all roads lead back to Pelosi.

LOL…this is maybe the most daft conspiracy theory going, and man there is a WHOLE lot of competition there!
Beeceee says
I read down through all of these comments and didn’t find one example of racism…
Continue on your quest for smashing fascism idi0t. While your at it why don’t you smash the patriarchy to, lol
Tim Scott says
There is a pretty solid correlation between blind support of law enforcement and open racism in this town. Any time you try to push for reforms in law enforcement that becomes very clear. There is a very solid core of people who will look at cops going so far outside the law that they can barely see it on the horizon, agree that those cops are way outside the law, and say “but as long as they are only doing that to -insert their preferred slur- it’s fine.” That is a direct quote, by the way. Look like you are sympathetically racist and get out among the populace and you will hear it said plenty of times.

The new racist are the ignorant people calling everyone racist.
Please ban Tim Scott says
How about just COMPLY with law enforcement ? He’d still be here if he did and I’m sure his family wouldn’t be grieving .
FWB says
Comply to the Jack boot thugs so you live to take it up with the judge
Tim Scott says
How about getting law enforcement to comply with the law? Doesn’t that seem like a more appropriate goal?
FWB says
The way I see them speed around town and pay no attention to traffic regulations I have to surmise they are above the law.

“…rammed two patrol vehicles several times.”
Samuel Nunez won’t be doing that anymore.
Tim Scott says
Won’t be sitting in his car minding his own business any more either…you happy about that?
FredM says
Minding his own business is a huge assumption.
I’m glad he isn’t sitting in a car in front of my house.
Tim Scott says
The “huge assumption” would be “he’s sitting in a car, must be up to no good and deserve to die.”
There’s no indications of how long he was there. I can’t even begin to list how many times and for how many reasons I might have been “sitting in a car.” Letting the dong on the radio play out. Running through a to do list in my head. Going through my sales pitch in my head one more time. Any number of things that are NOT criminal.
But paranoid -no good word to put here- are like “call the cops!!!” Well, now we know calling the cops on some poor guy sitting in their car might have deadly consequences, so DON’T.
