Please keep the Los Angeles Sheriffs Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer’s family and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department in your thoughts and prayers.

From Sheriff Robert Luna:

I want to let to our community know Deputy Clinkunbroomer left his family tonight to serve our community. He laid everything on the line to serve us. He wore a uniform just like other LASD deputies wear, driving in a police car, and he was senselessly murdered tonight.

Deputy Clinkunbroomer was 30 years old and an eight-year veteran of the LASD. He served the Palmdale and Antelope Valley communities with absolute distinction. He transferred to Palmdale station in July 2018, and has been a field training officer for 1 1/2 years.

From everything I know about Ryan, people absolutely loved and adored him. He wasn't just one of our Deputy Sheriffs. He was a third generation deputy.  His father and grandfather served with us.

Rest In Peace, Hero! 💙🖤
