The deputy who was fired upon was not related to the previous incident and just happened to be driving down the road when the two suspects decided to try to kill him.
Nineteen-year-old Oscar Guevara and a 17-year-old juvenile were taken into custody. Guevara was booked into Central Detention Center and the juvenile was taken to Juvenile Hall in San Bernardino. Both are charged with Attempt Murder of a Peace Officer, Conspiracy and Weapons Violations. Both will also receive gang enhancements for participation in a criminal street gang.
