LOS ANGELES - A suspect with a"very violent criminal history" was in custody Tuesday for allegedly shooting a Los Angeles County sheriff's motorcycle deputy in the back at a West Covina intersection -- with a bulletproof vest saving the lawman's life.
"Homicide detectives worked throughout the night to process the scene, collect evidence, and canvass the area for surveillance video and potential witnesses," Luna said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference in downtown Los Angeles. "Based on statements obtained from Raymundo Duran, surveillance footage retrieved from the shooting scene in the city of West Covina, witness statements obtained by homicide detectives and the firearm recovered by the California Highway Patrol officers, our detectives strongly believe Raymundo Duran is the suspect involved in the shooting of our deputy in the city of West Covina," Luna said.
Following the shooting on Monday, the sheriff's department had reported that Aispuro was awake and talking when he was loaded into an ambulance by paramedics following the shooting and taken to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center. According to Luna, Aispuro is a nearly 20-year veteran of the sheriff's department. He is married with two children, aged 4 and 2.
