For nearly three years, we have stood firmly with Ryan Clinkunbroomer’s family and with the dedicated men and women of our Palmdale Sheriff’s Station.  Throughout this time, we have remained steadfast in supporting this investigation and doing everything we can to assist the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office in pursing justice and holding this individual accountable for the ambush murder of Ryan.

Today’s verdict delivers justice and accountability.  While nothing can bring Ryan back to his family, his loved ones, or our LASD family, we hope this verdict brings a sense of peace and closure to those who loved him and served alongside him.

Ryan dedicated his life to service, proudly carrying on his family’s legacy as a third-generation member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.  We will forever honor his service, his sacrifice, and the badge he proudly wore.  Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer will never be forgotten.
