James Dean


The man arrested for shooting a Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputy in the neck during an incident in Newhall on November 28 has been identified as Monolito Guerra, a 29-year-old parolee who had served 20 months of a five-year sentence.

Here’s the story from the station’s social media:

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau has released details regarding the identity of the suspect arrested in connection with the deputy-involved shooting that occurred in Santa Clarita on November 28, 2017.

SCV Sheriff’s Station deputies were dispatched to the 21300 block of Bottletree Lane for an assault with a deadly weapon call. A suspect, who was located in the parking area near the pool at the location, fired his handgun toward responding deputies, and a deputy-involved shooting occurred.

One of the deputies suffered a gunshot wound to the neck. The injured deputy was transported to a local hospital where he was hospitalized in stable condition. He has since been released and is on the road to recovery.

The suspect, identified as Monolito Guerra, a 29-year-old Hispanic man, was struck at least once in the torso. He was transported to a local hospital for surgery.

On December 10, Guerra, who was determined to be on parole, was transferred to a medical jail ward located at the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center and booked for a parole violation.

Through their investigation, Homicide Detectives learned that Guerra was initially arrested on October 15, 2014. He was sentenced to state prison on February 2, 2016. He was serving a five-year prison term for evading arrest, a four-year prison term for a secondary charge of evading arrest, and an eight-month prison term for assault with a deadly weapon.

Guerra was paroled to the city of Santa Clarita on October 19. The deputy-involved shooting occurred less than six weeks later.

  9. Ronald Lewis says:

    I was in the ER when the deputy and the shooter was brought into the hospital. I’m happy to hear the deputy is okay.

  10. SCVTeam says:

    Funny that some of you will claim not to be racist. Guess that Las Vegas shooting wasn’t a real shock either, he fit the description of a mass shooter.

    • glady says:

      nothing to do with racist… scvteam…las vegas shooter was a ass and so is this guy …except vegas guy was a mystery, he wasn’t as violent as this guy….both are persons that have no right to be on this earth…neither is good….so why you throw in this racist crap…makes no sense….tell us something we don’t know …how did he fit the mass shooter bill….did i miss something on the news?

  11. So Cal Guy says:

    SCVTeam – what is it with your racism comments? that’s two post where you toss it in. You should remove the “eam” from your site name and replace it with “urd” because no one here is on your team with your comments. A Parolee who was released due to Governor Browns ridiculous props that were passed and he shot a cop.

  12. Jeanne says:

    So Cal Guy, I told you SCVTeam is trolling Conservatives with his or her irrelevant and ignorant comments.
