Jerry Ortiz, deputy was 35
Folks, one of our protectors was killed yesterday doing his job in the city of Hawaiian Gardens. Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy Jerry Ortiz, attached to an anti-gang unit, was talking with a man and woman outside an apartment when another man burst out the door and, the Times says, "put a handgun to the officer's face and fired." The cops think the killer was Jose Luis Orozco, 27, a parolee already wanted on suspicion of attempted murder. Ortiz, a 15-year veteran, married his second wife just two weeks ago. He has two sons, ages 6 and 16. Update: Suspect arrested late Friday.
