UPDATED ON: SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 / 11:19 AM / KCAL NEWS

A suspect in the ambush murder of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan
Clinkunbroomer was arrested early Monday morning, a day and a half after
the deputy was fatally shot in the head.

At a Monday morning news conference, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna said
investigators are "extremely confident" they have the right person in
custody. Even with that confidence, Luna urged anyone with information to
contact authorities to help the investigation.

Luna said investigators believe no other suspects were involved. Luna
identified the suspect as 29-year-old Palmdale resident Kevin Salazar.
Salazar was being held at the Palmdale sheriff's station.

"Thirty-six hours after the murder of our deputy, the men and women of our
department arrested him early this morning," Luna said.

Deputies surrounded the residence, a house, and called out everyone inside
early Monday morning. Family members exited the house, Luna said, but the
suspect barricaded himself inside for several hours. After trying to de-
escalate the situation and negotiate, Special Enforcement deputies
deployed chemical agents, and the suspect surrendered.

Investigators recovered numerous firearms and the vehicle of interest at
the house, Luna said.

Community members' information led homicide investigators to identify the
suspect and locate the vehicle used in the murder, Luna said. No motive
has been determined yet, Luna said. The investigation was ongoing.

The sheriff's department previously said Deputy Clinkunbroomer had just
left the Palmdale station and was sitting at a red light at the
intersection of Sierra Highway and Avenue Q at about 6 p.m. Saturday when
he was found slumped over the wheel of his patrol vehicle by a good
Samaritan.

"He was in uniform, sitting in a black and white vehicle marked L.A.
County Sheriff's, waiting for a red light," Sheriff Luna said. "Our deputy
never even had a chance."

The victim was identified as Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, who was rushed to
Antelope Valley Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries. He was
30 years old.

"We're gonna catch the person who did this," the sheriff said during a
press conference late Saturday evening. "Every resource that the Los
Angeles County Sheriff's Department has to bear is going after you."

Investigators are analyzing a video that shows a sedan slowly pulling up
behind an LASD vehicle at around the time that the shooting occurred
before speeding away, Luna said.

During a press conference on Sunday, the sheriff said that the vehicle of
interest is a dark gray 2006-2012 Toyota Corolla.

"We really need your help. We need to get this guy off the street," Luna
said. "He ambushed and killed � murdered � one of our deputies. We need
your help to get him off the street."

The sheriff further noted that Clinkunbroomer had spent about eight years
with the department and transferred to the Palmdale station in July 2018.
He had been acting as a field training officer for nearly two years, Luna
said.

"Not just anybody becomes a field training officer," Luna said. "It's
usually the best of the best."

Clinkunbroomer was a third generation LASD member, behind his father and
grandfather.

"Service was in his blood," the sheriff said.

He had just become engaged to his girlfriend four days ago, the sheriff
said. Clinkunbroomer leaves behind his fianc�e, parents and grandparents.

"He didn't deserve this," an emotional Luna said. "This is so unfair.
We're hurting because we lost somebody. It hurts bad. It sucks, just to
put it bluntly. Our hearts absolutely go out to his family."

Sheriff Luna withheld specifics on the investigation as it remains in its
early stages. He says that as new information comes to light, the public
will be alerted.

During a procession early Sunday morning, hundreds of law enforcement
officers escorted Clinkunbroomer's body to the Los Angeles County
Coroner's Office.

A large area on the street outside of the station was surrounded by crime
scene tape. An LASD vehicle was also taped off outside of the hospital
where the deputy was taken after being discovered in the patrol car.

"Somebody saw something. Somebody knows something," Luna said. "There is a
family here at this hospital grieving an unimaginable loss. We need your
help."

Politicians, law enforcement officials and community leaders took to to
social media to offer their condolences over the tragic loss of life
throughout the day on Sunday, and flags at the state Capitol and Capitol
Annex Swing Space were flown at half-staff.

During Sunday's press conference, County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said
she would seek $100,000 toward a reward to locate the suspect or suspect
involved, which the Palmdale Mayor Laura Bettencourt said the city would
match. Richard Pippin, the President of the Association for Los Angeles
Deputy Sheriffs, has also pledged an additional $50,000.

Clinkunbroomer was honored outside of the Palmdale sheriff's station
Sunday evening at 7 p.m. with a candlelight vigil.

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is urged to
contact homicide investigators at (323) 890-5500.
