NEWMAN, Calif. — A search is underway for the man that deputies believe shot and killed Newman Police Corporal Ronil “Ron” Singh around 1 a.m. on Wednesday.
In a Thursday news conference, Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson says his department will not release the name of the man suspected of the crime but say they believe they know who he is.
The sheriff also said the suspect they have identified was in the country illegally.
President Donald Trump weighed in after that announcement was made, tweeting, “There is right now a full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop. Time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!”
