Palmdale man to stand trial in shooting death of L.A. County sheriff’s deputy

LA Times  

Kevin Cataneo Salazar, 29, was arrested Sept. 18 after an hours-long standoff with law enforcement at his home in east Palmdale. A man accused of fatally shooting a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy last year in Palmdale will stand trial on suspicion of murder, a judge ordered Thursday in a preliminary hearing. Kevin Cataneo Salazar, 29, admitted to killing Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer in September, according to law enforcement sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. Cataneo Salazar allegedly shot Clinkunbroomer in the back of his head while both men were in their vehicles at a stoplight near the sheriff’s Palmdale station.
