LOS ANGELES (TCD) -- Law enforcement officials announced they have detained a person of interest in connection with the killing of a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy who was fatally shot while waiting at a red light.

Sheriff Robert Luna shared the news in a press conference Monday, Sept. 18, and said investigators received new information from several community members following a news briefing Sunday about Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer’s shooting death.

Early Monday morning, agents from the department’s Special Enforcement Bureau served a warrant at a residence in Palmdale and urged everyone in the house to come outside. Family members exited the home, but the suspect, Kevin Salazar, remained inside.

According to Luna, Salazar "chose to barricade himself and refused to come out." The standoff lasted for several hours and Special Enforcement Bureau officials used several methods of trying to get him out, including using hostage negotiators. Eventually, they deployed chemical agents in the residence and he eventually exited the house.
