Deonte Lee Murray, the man accused in the ambush shooting of two Los Angeles County deputies in Compton earlier this month, has been charged with attempted murder, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

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 initially said.

The deputies, a 31-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man, were shot in the face and head while sitting in their patrol car near the Compton metro station. Both underwent surgery and have been released from the hospital. They are expected to make a full recovery.

...did this even make the evening news [sic] ? I don’t think I saw a word about this...

[mfish13]

I can’t find a mugshot, either. Maybe it is California law?

If this vile monster had been white you know his face would have been front and center.

I can’t see a picture of LAPD Chief Villanueva without getting sick to my stomach.

That’s cause the dude was a midget. Camera can’t shoot that low.

Kind of narrows down the list of suspects. Wonder if the left will consider it profiling.

Deonte..sounds like the name of a new oriental car.

From the article:

the charges could be amended if there is evidence that the attack was done to benefit a gang.

I wonder if this was some sort of gang initiation?

SPJNK?

We are long past the point of enforcing restitution from criminals.

-Remove ALL public assistance for criminals who haven't paid full restitution for the crimes they've committed
-Their sentence ends not when some judge or parole board arbitrarily determines their debt is paid; they're done when the victim has been compensated
-Such criminals need to grow their own food and make their own clothes in prison. Let them sell the excess. Why would the taxpayers pay to clothe and feed perfectly capable people? Why import migrant labor when we have those who owe restitution?

Thank God he’s terrible shot.
