Suspect Identified in Fatal Shooting of California Sheriff's Deputy
A man named Angelo Jose Saldivar is accused of shooting and killing a young sheriff's deputy, Andrew Nunez, in California.
The deputy was on his way to help with a domestic violence call when he was shot.
After shooting the deputy, Saldivar got on a motorcycle and sped away very fast, even going over 100 miles per hour.
