LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has announced a suspect has been charged in the ambush shooting of two deputies earlier this month.
Deonte Lee Murray, 36, was taken into custody after a lengthy standoff three days after the deputies were shot, though his arrest was unrelated to the attack on the deputies, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.
