Dan Noyes 7 hrs · I have new information about the suspect in the death of 38-year-old Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller. The Sheriff’s Department identified the suspect as Steven Carillo of Ben Lomond. The I-Team has learned he is 32 years-old and an active duty US Air Force sergeant based out of Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield. Sources tell me investigators found many improvised explosive devices inside Carillo’s home today, and that the FBI has taken over the case. The working theory is the sheriff’s deputies “interrupted something big that was about to happen.” On his Facebook page May 31st, Carillo reposted a meme that said, “I’ll never let racist white people make me forget about the dope white people I know exist. I love y’all.” The post includes fist emojis of different skin tones, and both of the “whites” in the meme were crossed out. Carillo wrote, “The only race that matters, the human race.” The Sheriff’s Department said the incident began when someone called “about a suspicious van parked off the road near Jamison Creek, Boulder Creek. The caller saw guns and bomb making materials inside the van.” Sheriff’s personnel followed the van back to Carillo’s house on Waldeberg Road in Ben Lomond. “They were ambushed with gunfire and multiple improvised explosive devices.” Sgt. Gutzwiller was pronounced dead at the hospital. A second deputy “was either shot or struck by shrapnel” from the explosives Carillo tossed at them. As Carillo drove away, authorities say he hit the deputy with his car. The Sheriff’s Department said it appears Carillo then hijacked a car, but was arrested after officers shot him. He was armed at the time. Carillo has two children. His wife, Monika Carrillo, was an Airman 1st Class in the Air Force, but she died in an off-base hotel in South Carolina in 2018. Authorities said at the time her death was not suspicious.

Wow such shoddy writing

“Carrillo is survived by his wife, Monika Carrillo, who was a First Class Airmen in the Air Force, but she died in an off-base hotel in South Carolina in 2018.”

Active duty Air Force?

Air Force, retired.

“Carrillo is survived by his wife, Monika Carrillo, who was a First Class Airmen in the Air Force, but she died in an off-base hotel in South Carolina in 2018.”

That's as good as the one about "being attacked by an unarmed man with a knife." (!!)

Apparently his wife was active duty Air Force with the rank of Airman First Class. But reporters are lazy and stupid.

I’ve been a Freeper 20 years and whenever a post about a law enforcement officer killed is made, it never fails that it will bring out at least one cop hater on FR.

True

This case may be connected to the LEO that was killed in Oakland during the riots. I suspect it is the same white van seen leaving the scene of the crime

“he was part of an elite air force team”
