A motorcyclist accused of fatally shooting a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy was captured Monday after crashing into another vehicle during a high-speed chase on the 210 Freeway near Ontario.

Authorities say the suspect was wanted in connection with a possible domestic violence incident in Rancho Cucamonga. When deputies responded around 1.30 pm (US time), one of them — identified as Deputy Andrew Nunez — was shot and killed, Fox news reported.

The gunman fled the scene on a motorcycle, reaching triple-digit speeds and reportedly riding against oncoming traffic multiple times along the 210 Freeway. About five minutes later, the suspect collided with a car on the eastbound lanes near exit 56 in Ontario.


Footage from SkyFOX showed the suspect sitting upright in a neck brace, surrounded by law enforcement before being placed on a gurney and airlifted to a hospital. A firearm was visible on the roadway near the crash site.


Earlier, a large police presence was seen at an apartment complex on the 12300 block of Hollycock in Rancho Cucamonga — the initial scene of the shooting — where a bloody vest and a patrol vehicle with a shattered window were spotted.

The suspect’s condition remains unclear. Officials have not yet released details about his injuries or identity. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
