Sheriff deputy killed during traffic stop (Southern California). Suspect killed after chase



A deputy from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department was shot and killed in Jurupa Valley Thursday afternoon. The suspected gunman was killed following a chase with law enforcement.

The deputy has been identified as 32-year-old Isaiah Cordero.

During a press conference Thursday night, authorities identified the gunman as William Shea McKay, 44.


McKay had an “extensive criminal history” including charges of kidnapping, robbery and multiple assaults, including the stabbing of a California Highway Patrol K-9.

McKay is believed to have shot Deputy Cordero around 2:00 p.m. on the 3900 block of Golden West Avenue during a traffic stop.

Cordero was hit an undisclosed amount of times and McKay fled the scene in a pickup truck. Residents of the neighborhood called 911 and administered first aid until paramedics arrived to transport the deputy to the hospital where he was later declared dead.

The shooting led to a massive manhunt that spanned both Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Once authorities were able to identify McKay as the suspect, a mass alert went out to neighboring law enforcement agencies.

He was eventually located by officers and dozens of law enforcement vehicles pursued his dark-colored pickup truck, believed to be a Chevrolet Silverado, southbound on the 15 Freeway. The chase came to an end in Norco just below a freeway overpass.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said McKay fired at law enforcement, who returned fire. The suspect was hit by gunfire and died at the scene.
